Reflection Luke 11v33-36 A Poem

"Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is also full of light."Oh this big light of mine-SHINE! SHINE! SHINE!

Classical music playing on low, 

Reading the Bible by an open window. 

Sounds of summer blending in with the violin 

Children playing, laughing, last days of school ease 

A candle flickering, I see the light and begin to read.

No one lights a lamp and puts it in the cellar 

Under a basket—no 

Oh This little light of mine, how do I let it shine 

When windows shut

When music stops 

When laughter is cut short by cry of pain

When darkness runs wild around me determined to extinguish the flame 

My eyes shut tight—no light 

My eyes wide open—fixed on Him 

Now illuminated by His mercy and grace 

His light shines and fans my faith

Oh this big light of mine-SHINE!
