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. -KR-
