Grandmother Petra's Lamp...by Bev

I light her lamp, as the daylight fades.

This pioneer woman ~~ ~widowed young.

Her funeral was typical of "those days,"

children were spared the grief.

I entered her parlor but once.

The lamp illumined the room with charm.

To me, it seemed grand in it's glow.

Now at Vesper-time I light her lamp with a prayer

that we who follow, may also draw strength from God,

who was her peace...and her light...and her strength.
