God created a small beam of light
placed it on the land
hope for all the people
planet filled with a band
Some people picked up the light
shared it throughout the world
partnered with others
causing kindness to unfurl
The partnership grew
people helping one another
there was love in the land
man in harmony with his brother
Food was abundant
healing was at hand
there was much rejoicing
throughout the land
Then a storm began to rage
darkness came on the land
famine, war, and strife
no one lending a hand
But the light remained
small but a shining flame
darkness could not put it out
it will forever gain
