The kerosene lamp

by Joanne Gill-Maddick

My parents told me stories of back in the day when there was no electricity.

The light from the kerosene lamp helped them see more clearly. 

They worked and completed their chores by the soft glow of the Kerosene light.

The kerosene light  burned brightly through the wee hours of the night.

Times were much simpler though they faced many challenges throughout the years. 

They made the best of what they had through many a hardship and tears. 

The kerosene lamp on the window cell creates a vivid picture in my mind.

Calm serene and peaceful reminiscent of another place and time.

I love memories of back in the day when we would lose power because of a storm. Mom and dad would light the kerosene lamp. It gave a warm and cozy feeling. Such precious memories. My photo is from google.
