"An Aspiration", by Katherine Collins

Others may be art glass of rainbow hue;
I choose to be a windowpane
For the sun to shine through.

A clear pane,
A clear pane is what I would be
Unconcerned with temperament
And personality.

I would have Love shine through me
So that my friends would say
Not, "What a lovely pane of glass,"
But, "What a lovely day!"

(What a great goal to have!)
