"I am the glow outside the box,
That used to fill the to box with light.

"But Pandora opened the box,
And I flew out in a rush of fresh air,
Into a world now filled with darkness.
I quest to find pieces of darkness
And to make them into mirrors,
Or light them up like a candle
So the world can be a brighter place."

One day the little glow found a particular piece
Of darkness. He asked her who she was, and
She answered that she was the light of Hope,
A little canary wandering about in a
World filled with crows. The bit of darkness
Thought it was a noble journey,
And asked if he could hug her for good luck
Before she goes on her way. She
Pouted at him and said,

"I am too hot to the touch,
If you hold me, you will feel pain. But maybe, if
You can hold long enough, you will burn
Brightly too. Together we can repaint this world,
And make it a more beautiful place,
Even if we can't make it a better one
By filling up a bigger box"

Never lose a sense of optimism,
Because if you plant the seeds of positive
Energy into the Universe, the seed will
Grow and circle back to you, when the
Vines of happiness flourish through the world.'
