The Candle

Gary Edward Geraci

 

Candle
Of Christ
Burning
Brightly.
Joseph's
Candle,
Mary's
Candle,
The world
Of light.

The Twelve's
Candle,
Peter's
Candle,
The Church
Candle,
Spreading
The word.

A monk's
Candle,
A nun's
Candle,
A priest's
Candle,
Remote
Corners
Of earth.

The Saint's
Candle,
Easter
Candle,
My six
A. M.
Prayer
Candle.

One Light,
The Same,
One Flame
Burn Bright!

      Thank you WriteBeLight. I am happy to see that you enjoyed The Candle.

      It seems the software platform here has an adversion to apostrophe's but only after one decides to edit. "\\\\" is the result.

      Love the simplicity of the style and the prayerful message. Enjoyed

      Thanks Augustus. I've gotten in the good habit of praying every morning; first thing after waking up. I light a candle and from time to time, look up from my reading and into the flame. That's when the prayer really takes off as I begin to imagine all those around the world whom at that very same moment are sincerely praying before a candle - just like me.
