In every soul is a window,

An opening in every life

Through which our moments show

 

---

 

Mysteries hide behind those windows,

Travelers see but a moment of life

That from the opening flows

 

---

 

A glimpse through the glass

Represents what’s within

To all those who pass

 

---

 

Some windows gleam with light,

Reminding pilgrims of home;

Their bright panes the weary invite

 

---

 

Some windows are shuttered and dark,

Ornate without but haunted within;

Tight-drawn curtains are their mark

 

---

 

Some windows though shaded

With grief and struggle,

Still shine with light un-faded

 

---

May my windows be bright,

Filled by God from within,

And hearten others to shine in the night
