Mrs Ellis said. Theres someone you should meet here in the church.
I lent my back again, up against the church and went back inside.
There was a woman and a child whom Id not seen and Mrs Ellis said.
The woman is a friend, new to this town, a mother and a child.
Let your light in babe, and dont you be afraid.
I live by myself. A mile from the church and do my work at home.
The house was a gift, given from a friend on whom I used to care.
Named Silius Farm, though its not a farm, but a house amidst trees.
And Mrs Ellis said, but I stopped her and said. They can stay with me.
Let your light in babe, and dont you be afraid.
Later, Mrs Ellis said. Now are mother and child well?
I said. They are well.
The mother is in bed. The child is at school and I must be rushing home!
Let your light in babe, and dont you be afraid.
