Light A Candle



I'll light a candle to see my way,
Out of the darkness of fear.
The light will brighten the road I chose;
All obstacles I will see.
It will bring harmony between me and the unseen.
The light will bring hope where all was lost.
I'll light a candle to understand the unknown.
It will shed light on those we trust,
And brighten our awareness of the dishonest.
It will warm me of chills running through me,
And glow with a natural splendor.
This lighted candle gives me courage,
To overcome the struggles that come upon me.
Lets me see more clearly the path I have taken.
It lights behind me for those who follow.
This simple flame, true in colors,
Rising with heat, flickering in the wind.
It's not perfect, yet it continues to burn.
I will light this candle for you,
Will you light one for me?
