THE BEACON
– by Neo Blaqness
The children
of a good mother or father
are the echoes
of a voice
no longer present
to speak
wisdom to the years
or give
kindness to strangers
or love
where others have scorned
be it now
or later in life
these are those
who were raised up right
tho may stray far
from God’s light
have been taught
to know it as
the beacon
home
