Candle Light
Used by all to see the sights
Centuries of power cutting through darkness
Hand in front of flame as you walk carefully
with candle light.
Strike a match lighting each wick
The cakes a glow celebration of another year
Make a wish and blow out candle light.
A tub of warmed water and cloth relieving the
day’s stresses, light switch to off room's a glow
from candle light.
A romantic moment dinner made with passion
Overcome with anticipation your guest arrives
The wine is poured dinner for two by candle light.
It’s festive times traditional songs we sing
House to house we go that eve with carol
Lyrics flickering from candle light.
At times of need and reflection found at the shrine
We kneel down in prayer with heavy thought and hart
Comes your offering through candle light.
A gathering a vigil a remembrance of one’s place
A single flame is lit, down the line it goes
As the crowd grows brighter showing unity and
compassion from all through candle light.
Celebrations mood grief and passion come to life
giving each moment deeper meaning
in the presence of candle light.
