Light in the Window

Light in the Window

 

Lingering softly,

Beckoning peace.

A warmth in its glow,

A beauty bestowed.

 

Beaming on the inside,

Reaching the outside.

Calling from its home,

Light in the window.

 

A trusting form,

A shelter from harm.

Igniting a spark,

Delivering from the dark.

 

It shines upon all,

And answers the call.

Love ever flows,

Light in the window.

 

So open the curtains of your heart,

You just may impart

The Light which saves…

The Light God so gave.

 

The heart to care,

The hands to share.

The eyes to show

The Light in the window.

The eyes to show

I enjoyed the religious metaphor. This is probably just a personal preference, but it feels a bit wordy. I would pare it down to only the essential elements.

I like this idea for a write. One just feels safer walking into the house when there is a light in the window. Valentine
