I am a lantern, I glow bright I break for day, and wait…

“I am a lantern, I glow bright I break for day, and wait for night Without me you’d be blind You take me for granted every time But now you can’t see you set a spark I come alive and rid out the dark Now you see in the light useless tool But go where you can’t see and you’re the fool poem i wrote” quote by Carlos Hutchinson
