Brighten The Way.

Goldfinch60



In life we can always help,

Always help others.

We can light a lamp,

Light a lamp for them.

By doing this we guide them,

But also by lighting their lamp

We can also brighten a path,

The path that we are walking.

    A lamp is quite a useful share for all, its rays shine 360 and we can't really quite keep it all to ourselves. Awesome write Andy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

        Good write Gold. You got a bushel - whatever that is exactly? I need one, so that I don't hide my light under it (Eh?!).

        • arqios

          Isn't that like a basket that's made of fibres, like wicker and such ๐Ÿงบ

            Yes, a sort of basket, I think. Thank you A.

                Arqios a bushel is a unit of dry measure equivalent to four pecks or 32 quarts, while a peck is a unit of dry measure equivalent to 8 quarts.

                      Just a little can mean so much and go such a long way, nicely expressed

                        Here here! If all would help each other we would do much more and it would be a far brighter world indeed. To this day I appreciate and remember each helping soul along my path.

                        • Goldfinch60

                          Very true soren, if only everybody would help each other it would be a wonderful world.

                            Beautiful message! By lighting a lamp for someone else, we not only guide them but also eliminate our own path. It gives the idea that kindness and support can benefit both the giver and the receiver. Very well written!!!!

                            • Goldfinch60

                              Thank you so much for your kind understanding words Salvia.

                                    this is so simple, and yet such a truth that we often overlook
                                    yes- the path you light for others, will also illuminate your own
