The Candle

 

 

In the midst of all your pain and confusion,
when it seems in your fight to win your losing.
A candle is burning to light your way,
to help you make it through the day.
As the candle flickers and sways,
it casts the shadows of tomorrow's days.
As the darkness lay ahead,
this candle you hold shines brightly the way,
it will lead you to a day,
when pain and confusion go away.
