(A nod to the ubiquitous yet under acknowledged candle)

A symbol of hope in times of loss, deep sorrow and despair

I cast my healing light upon paths darkened by fear and pain

If you falter on journeys that may arduous be, I will be there

Burning strong, no hint of flicker through snow or wind or rain

Light me to remember, to surrender and pray

I will be a comfort through long nights until comes the promise of a better day

No matter the weather, the journey, the terrain

Keep me close for I will in your time of most need light the way.
