Lichthoose
We aw
need a lichthoose,
noo an then,
a flash o licht
tae show us the wey,
tae guide us in the mirk,
tae tell us whar we are,
mind us wir no alane.
An noo,
wi storms ragin,
an mair
getherin aw the time,
we seek oot yon gleam,
grasp it aw the mair,
efter aw, hope is the sperk
that keeps yon licht burnin.

I loved the poem and your painting. The only word I didn’t understand was “mair.” May the light of hope burn bright in 2023!
