The Greatest Light of All

A single ray of sunlight
     Illuminates a room
By casting tiny rainbows
     Among the dark and gloom
A falling star fills the sky
     With beauty to behold.
It lingers in the watchful eye
     As centuries grow old.
The flicker of a candle’s flame
     Comsumes us with delight.
It lingers till the sunrise
     Extinguishes it from sight.
But there’s and even greater light
     On this celestial ball -
The light of God’s redeeming love,
     The greatest light of all.
