The Call, A Small Flashlight by Carrie Newcomer
The way is dark up ahead of me. The way is dark and I cannot see. What I love the most is a flashlight beam, Lighting up the way when I cannot see.
The way unfolds like an open hand. The way unfolds like I didn’t plan. And only in looking back do we understand, That the way was true as an open hand.
Over trials and trouble I’ve already come. And the net appeared when I needed one. Yes the road is dark and the ground is rough, Most the time a flashlight has to be enough.
We move forward one step at a time, Wide-eyed and hopeful, lost and half blind, Mistake by mistake, we all learn to be kind.
There is so much to see and to realize. If I could close my mouth and open up my eyes. And the world will tell us more than enough lies, But we’ll find our way with a small flashlight.
