Candle Continuing

Tune & Hymn: Gentle Jesus, meek and mild

Adapted with permission from \'Little Candle\' poem by Frenia

***********

Little candle burning bright

Casts shadows on golden light

With warm glow throughout the night

Bringing clearness, you our dight*

(* dight - make ready for a use or purpose; prepare)

 

Kissed by breeze, you gently flick

Burns slowly, your soul the wick

Unbowed, shine through thin nd thick

Sturdy on your candlestick

 

Bringing comfort, memories too

Of days gone, when love was new

We were wed \'neath skies of blue

All this was observed by you

 

Love now gone, I alone, see

You bring peace and joy to me

Recall how life used to be

Yet your flame sill bold and free

 

Thanks you, candle, shining bright

My companion through the night

Blessing me with golden light

All resplendent to the sight
