Hour 14
Little light
Bright warm glow
You pulse in my hands cupped together
I cannot help but keep glancing down at you
You are my little light
I used to always stare up at you in the dark night sky
Reach my arms up to grasp at you
Dismay at how unreachable you appeared to be
From one end of the globe to the other
You shined steadily overhead
Until one day I reached up
And pulled back to find you finally in the palm of my hand
You are my little light
You are smaller than you seemed up there
But with you in my hands I feel invincible
Your gravitational pull keeps me steady on my feet
Ready to face each day
Like a great old tree with roots stretching deep in the ground
Fuelled by the strength and courage you give me
My little light
As I hold up my cupped hands together with you in them
And face my creator
I am almost at a loss for what to say
Because what more could I ask for
Night and day I asked Him for you
Wondering if I should not aim too high
Yet here you are in my hands
My little light
Someday I may put you back in a new spot in the night sky
So that I can stare up at you again
Climb even greater mountains
Jump higher than I have ever jumped
To try and grasp you again
But for now I hold you in my hands
Gaze at your bright warm glow
My little light.
