Four Candles

These candles burn and go out not, They burn for all those we forgot They burn for the soldiers out in the field, They burn for them to stay strong and never yield They burn for the sick wherever they may be, They burn for the blind that they might see They burn for others to be cancer free, They burn for those troubled in mind They burn for illness of every kind. They burn for this broken world that it may be healed They burn for the peace and for wars to be sealed They burn for each one of us, man , woman and child, They burn to stop our world from being defiled. These candles burn and go out not They burn lest all the above should be forgot. God Bless every one on this New Years Eve. © Dave Timperley 31 December 2016
