“Bringing the Light”

 
“Bringing the Light”
 
cji
9/24/13
 
Each day six (6) candles
standing 12” tall uniform
burning four (4) hours apiece
placed inside a glass white
day after day after month
month after month after year
till the white glass translucent
then to become clear glass
thus giving the room light
additionally to give warmth
thus came the lantern
measuring the time of life
then giving light to darkness
putting off warmth to all
within their sphere found
Alfred the Great 9th Century
providing light and warmth!
