A lantern glows in the gathering dusk
Its flame sways softly in the breeze
It casts a circle of fleeting warmth
A sanctuary amid lifes uncertainties
Its light may flicker small and frail
Yet it defies the nights advance
In its humble glow lies quiet resolve
A radiant beacon of circumstance
The lanterns glow is a travelers guide
A symbol of hope in shadowed lands
Its flames reflect the hearts resilience
A gentle power in fragile hands
Carry your lantern hold it high
Even when winds seek to snuff it out
Its flame though modest can ignite
A path of courage through fear and doubt
