Lanterns burn through a quiet yard
Moths trace arcs in a drifting guard
You close doors for the shivering few
Giving night a gentler hue
Wooden steps creak beneath relief
Warm soup cools in a bowl of grief
Your soft actions shape sacred space
Turning sorrow into grace
Tender paths through the dim outplace
Guide lost souls to a kinder base
Happiness hums in the soft embrace—
Life finds shelter in the haven built from your unspoken grace
