- Give and Take -

Light
      we need
      in our hearts
      Soft, brilliant glow
      Give

      Hold
      my hand
      Our journey
      the course is set
      Take

It's uplifting to think that when we give "light" to others, it is returned to us. Lovely lanterne, Sunshine. Best wishes in Joseph's contest! Hugs, Carolyn

First of all, I would like to thank you for regularly visiting my work, I appreciate it. The form of a Lanterne is simple, yet it is extraordinarily difficult, as the few words written have to be precise, not to exceed the syllables. You did quite well in achieving this not only in composition but also the subject, especially the opposite words. I apologise for not visiting frequently.

The light in our hearts that shines from within let's us see that a hand which is a simple thing is all we need. Good one. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.
