May 5 — A Morning of Light Remembered
In the hush between night and morning,
when the world is still soft with shadow,
a single flame remembers.
It flickers in a window--
not for warmth,
but for remembrance.
On this day, May 5,
we honor a quiet courage--
the kind that endured long nights,
drawn curtains,
and whispered hope.
And then…
the light returned.
Not all at once,
not with thunder--
but candle by candle,
window by window,
heart by heart.
This morning, as sunlight slips gently across the glass,
as coffee steams in the quiet of a waking room,
we remember that light is never truly lost--
only waiting to be rekindled.
So let us live this day
as they once did in that first breath of freedom--
with gratitude,
with reverence,
and with a small, steady flame
burning bravely in the window of the soul.
