I sit by a candle, protected in a corner of this small room.

Without, the winds howl.

The candle scarcely flickers. Dawn.

Travelers at the door; visits and activity. Laughter. Some who come bring calamity and woe. Peace disturbed. Yet the candle welcomes. Yet I welcome.

I am the striker of matches, keeper of friendly flame. Grant me good cheer, Lord.

(Letter #3,453)
