The Lantern

Netashi

Brother

Theta was here, he has had a lantern for the longest time the lantern has watched him since he was a child into the young man he is today.

 

  • Warm to the touch and wiser than some

Truly you are strict and still your lesson have just begun

  • For you have lit the way but will leave me with a torch

For no one can lead me to my purpose you only lit the way like a warm  scorch

  • For you were always there for guidance and love like a blanket and whip

For you snapped when I strayed from the true life and you strengthen my grip

  • Warmer than a blanket and like a second father but not to discourage Dad

For my real father is a kind hearted man that has raised his sons and I’m glad

  • For he has giving a lantern that has such pride and charisma

This lantern helps me and makes life less of an enigma

  • One day the lantern will give it out and the light inside will be no more

I will have my own torch but i will endlessly cry and the same light will be nevermore

        That lantern will always be with you, it was there at the start of your infinity and will be there at the end of your infinity.

          we all need a light of one type or another, to help us along those dark paths..... N
