Candle in the Dark

Candles flickering in the darkening gloom, Pin-pricks of light that brighten the room; Taking a look around all that you see Waiting for the night to end, so you can breathe; Flashes of flame shine on the walls surround Giving a sense of protection all around, And everything you require is found Within these arms that hold you sound; Flames burn and flare in the cloudy night With light of fire shining, setting life right, What do you see in the misted shade As eyes focus with firelights blaze Watching the skies for the signs of life Bringing hope in the fading light, And everything you require is found Within these arms that hold you sound; Can you see the light shine from above Do you feel the warmth of heavens love As the light fans into flame the truth you believe When you truly see light and fire as you receive; Take a walk with light of life in hand, Join in and sing fire into this happy band, And everything you require is found Within these arms that hold you in love and light. ©Steve Gregory 2025
