Reading To Paraphrase a Poem

• In shadows deep where darkness reigns,
• It flickers on, despite the strains.
• Through trials fierce and nights so long,
• It sings its song, resilient and strong.

• In whispered prayers and dreams untold,
• It weaves its thread of purest gold.
• It paints the sky with hues of dawn,
• A beacon bright when all seems gone.

• In hearts that ache and spirits tire,
• It fans the flames of inner fire.
• It whispers softly, “Hold on tight,
• For in the darkest hour shines the light.”

• So let us cling to its embrace,
• And journey on with steady pace.
• For in its glow, we find our way,
• Guided by it, come what may.
