Analysis of Greatest Of Light.
Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)
There I no greater light,
Then the one I can see,
I shall follow in footstep,
Just you my love, and me,
The light I so blinding,
Yet there is a beauty from within,
And where we are going,
There is no sin,
I felt so ever blessed,
The day that I met you,
I knew within my heart,
You have a friendship so true,
There is no greater light,
even though it is blinding,
It build's on truth my friend,
Covering, unraveling, and binding.
