Prayer of a Midwife On Worldwide Candle Lighting Day

I woke up this morning Something special on my mind Today I must light a candle so that Their Light May Always Shine. I light it for the babies That didn’t make this world this time They died before or after birth, hope Their flickering light will always shine. So many couples wait in vain Hoping maybe it will be their time Suffering all the stress and pain Please let their light always shine So many tears today and lonely thoughts The why and wherefores, maybe next time They pray and hope all answers have been sought God make their light always shine Next year a new life might be theirs But never will they forget the time When hope was lost thought no one cared Always and forever their light must shine.
