The Lighter Side of Faith

     The sun provides me light from without
        My faith provides it from within

     On days when no light shines on my skin
        What’s within dispels any doubt

Good for you, my friend. The light within should never go out; well, unless you're sharing the light with someone. I like your rhyme / Couplet poem, Gershon. Have a great week! Bill

Like today’s sentencing, good and evil clearly show light and darkness. Quite interesting listening to the speeches of the family of those 4 girls. Don’t mess with the Gonzalez family! Such a tragedy as is so many things…
