light

Tonight my thought are with you.

I sit here with the glow of candle light. My mind drifts back to the oil lamps that the children color by at night. The candles that we light in your room. The candles floating among the flowers while we ate dinner with Bill.

I also have the light of the moon coming through my window behind me. The light wraps around my shoulders and I think of you you-you. I think of that light inside of you that will never ever die. I think of how many times you have wrapped your arms around me as my sister and as a dear friend. I would do the same if I was there with you now.

Light in my mind = hope. You are their light. You are my light. You are Haiti's light. You give me hope. Hope that will never ever die and the thing about your light is that it's so strong that it starts the fire in others and makes my flame want to burn brighter.

You-You I love you and I miss you. Let your light burn bright.
