I bright the darkness <br />I am a lantern <br />A feeble light I am <br />Without my enclosure <br />Without my protection <br />My life will end <br />Put off instantly <br />By a gushing wind <br />Stay close <br />Protect me <br />Be my enclosure <br />So I will be <br />A shining lantern <br /> <br />I am a lantern <br />A shining lighthouse <br />But a mere presence I am <br />Without my glass <br />Stay close <br />Cover me safely <br />Shining lantern <br />So I will be <br /> <br />I am a lantern <br />In the darkness can guide <br />But I am a weak ray <br />Without my guard <br />Stand by my side <br />Put away the wind and tide <br />Be around be my gate keeper <br />So I will be a shining lantern<br /><br />Fasika Ayalew<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shining-lantern/
