Last year, I bought a lantern for our cabin and filled the batteries for storm season. My child played with it in the “woods” of her darkened bedroom.
Last week, power flickered. I flipped the lantern switch. The batteries may have died, but we never lost the light.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but the way “we never lost the light” is on its own line is poetic.

It was. I wanted it to have a double meaning. Not sure if it came through, but thank you for the nice comment =)
