Chanukah,Once More

The ancient festival arrives again Glowing candles symbolize light and life As horrors continue to take place in our world We can gaze upon the candles, feel strength come back to tired bodies The miracle of the oil and the victorious fight have lessons for all of us Strength lies in courage, not numbers Hope burns like a candle In the deep recesses of the heart

This was very deep and uplifting. Indeed, horrors still take place in the world, but strength does lie in courage and faith. Nicely expressed Matthew
