lighting the way

He’s been doing this for a while now

lighting up the city streets in all weathers

stood like a sentry on certain corners

so you can observe the dangers

of a snow covered floor

Rewards are few but welcome

changes from candle to coal , from gas to electric

and from time to time, a brush up of his coat

make the people passing smile

for they are proud of this centenarian

lighting the city streets

  1. This is a great story. I remember watching in Mary Poppins the street lamp lighter. Thanks for joining in.
