Our world is darkened by hate. Each one of us can be a light in the midst of darkness. By spreading love instead of hate. Or peace instead of chaos. Or joy in the midst of much sorrow. Or doing things that unify and not divide. Or saying kind words instead of hateful insults. By doing this one will be letting their light shine, In the midst of much darkness. So take the torch and let it shine through the darkness. 4/9/2021 Contest: Shine Sponsor: Constance La France
