Light

Ever notice how light glows all around?

It glows in the rays of the sun beaming down from the sky,

Or in the stars that twinkle at night.

It even glows in the flickering candle burning in the darkness.

It glows in laughter.

It glows in heavy sighs of satisfaction.

It glows in tears of joy.

Want to know my favorite place the light glows?

In the way his eyes crinkle when he smiles or laughs.

That’s where most of the light glows,

Yellow, orange, and bright.
