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.
