revealing a soft white light from beyond,

Not When I'd Lost a Step or Two

...
   Not when I started to show it

Shining dimly in the night.
Casting shadows in the darkness
With my frail and feeble light.
But despair won’t overwhelm me
For as small as I might be
My wee flame is ev...

wearing a night cap…the fowl
