Glow – 3 December (2019 Re-Post)

Anne Anderson (1874-1930) [Public domain]

Inside glow of loving family
Outside pain of loneliness

Inside glow of warmth
Outside ache of cold

Inside glow of holiday feast
Outside pain of hunger

Inside glow of kindness
Outside hurt of cruelty

Inside glow of visions
Outside warmth of a snow drift
