In our hearts there shines a lantern,
Sometimes it burns low but sometimes bright,
Depending wether you feel pride or regret,
As you lay and think in bed each night,
It’s shines bright blue when your loved ones laugh,
And heats up when you see your children’s smile,
But then flickers, dims and dies down darker still,
As you seem to struggle on for a while,
It will always remain lit though,
For your to stubborn to let it go out,
Because with each two days of low lying flame,
Comes one day worth being happy about,
Days can be difficult for us all it seems,
And nights can become long and sleepless too,
But as long as you’ve got compassion and love,
The flame will refuel from your soul deep within you,
