A Candle Burns For Who Tonight

A candle burns, for who tonight? By Stanley Russell Harris The new mad author & A poetry soup honourably mentioned poet! Its power is just a tiny flame. It lights the darkness of the night. Many sometimes then are lit. Their light brightens where you live. Some are lit to share our woes. When lives are lost they are, you know. That’s a sad time for all I say. As those candles can’t light our way. In church, the Advent candle is lit. Proclaims the Christ child doesn’t it? Peace on earth, goodwill to men! Will we ever see that peace again? I hope no roadside candle you do light. I pray no more lives are lost alright. I know they will, as all do not pray. If all were true Christian no lives would they slay. As all are not of one faith I say. Fighting will go on until that last day. And when your last breath stops you know. A candle will be lit for you just so. May its glow guide your spirit high? To that place we go when we die. Let that candle give your spirit light. So you rest in Paradise that’s right. A candle burns for you that night A candle burns for you that's right. A candle to give your spirit light. A candle burns for who tonight?
