Lantern of Memories

A lantern lit with love by our parents.....

It'll make life not just flash but sparkle before our eyes, how lovely!

The match that lit my lantern has died out 

But its flame lives on.

The brightness that came into my life Was almost entirely due to my wife!

Memories in the journey of life add on, 

The light brighter and glowing forever

Through the darkest of the dark, I see the lantern glow,

A spark of hope, spreading light for tomorrow…

The lantern of love glows for US and OURS ...

With love light and laughter multiplying forever...

I will take a spark from this lantern

to light other lamps,

Lantern of Memories

A lantern lit with love by our parents.....

It'll make life not just flash but sparkle before our eyes, how lovely!

The match that lit my lantern has died out 

But its flame lives on.

The brightness that came into my life Was almost entirely due to my wife!

Memories in the journey of life add on, 

The light brighter and glowing forever

Through the darkest of the dark, I see the lantern glow,

A spark of hope, spreading light for tomorrow…

The lantern of love glows for US and OURS ...

With love light and laughter multiplying forever...

I will take a spark from this lantern

to light other lamps,

that will enfold all mankind in warmth and togetherness

My lantern. 

The lantern of four generations before , flickered at times , strong and steady as I remember,  is what I have  passed on  to my next two generations to pass on the sparkle.

In the summer days 

At my grandma's place;

In the latern light,

We played and played

 with a lot of fight.

The spark moves on igniting many minds

And these spread to others like a flame

Soon we have many like minded selves

To connect , share , cherish and care
