Little Lights

Jesus spoke of little lights,
candles, lamps, not great bonfires,
just small steady flames
to brighten some dark corner of the house.
Jesus always preached little
children, flowers, sparrows,
mustard seeds, loaves and fishes.
He didn’t expect people to
make great gestures.
He knew that little is the currency
of everyday living.
We thank God for little lights,
the warm smile, the hug, the phone call,
a wave from a passing car, a cup of tea,
an open door, a talent freely shared.
May we carry the lamp of kindness
to give light to those in darkness.
