The Hearth Light by Caitlin N. Pate

Keep the hearth aglow, My darling; 

Don’t let it fade. 

Let it warm the room 

And illuminate the window Like a beacon 

To guide me 

Home to you. 

To you 

I trudge this weary path From the harsh and cold Grasp of the world 

Back to you

And your soft embrace, 

Waiting at the door 

Of the house and pit 

You have made 

A home and hearth.
