Alone, alone in the morn. Alone before the looming day.

How could I not be grateful for all you have given, all you have taken? I am a bare bulb, shining into the dark.

Bright as you made me, the sun will o’erpower me before the day’s chores are even begun.

The shadows disappear and I can see.

How could I not be grateful?

(Letter #3,949)
