To light a candle and by it's light
to sit and write the things that come to mind
This person is not a writer and not the wisest
of men. Yet the need to touch a mind or heart
is great in a world so full of hurt and hate.

To bring some comfort to an aching heart and mind.
To ease a weighty burden, to heal the pains that kill.
To pave the way with love and goodness, to make
every effort toward a lasting peace.

Let every person a candle be whose light is love for
all to share in a world gone wrong with few who care.
