You’re a shining lamp

Unto this world

Perched on a hill

- – -

You glow like a fireball

For all to see 

In your glory

- – -

You blink occasionally

Urging others 

To heed your call

- – -

It’s as though

You’re leading

Leaving footprints

In the sands of time

For all to follow

- – -

Over decades

Your ripples reach

Far and wide

As you gather moss

That float out from a sea

Of despair

- – -

That’s how

The meek, gentle

And hopeful

Greet your exuberant

Light

- – - 

Like a prophet

They delight

In your omniscience

And struck
