Light Me A Candle

Light me a candle
To show me the way
To the arms of my true love
This cold winter day

Light me a candle
And let the flame glow
Let it shine on the pathway
Of this cold bitter snow

Light me a candle
And hold it up high
And watch for my spirit
High in the sky

For I'll see your candle
And know that you care
And I'll hurry home
To be with you there


Stare into the candle
At it's flickering light
And know that I'll love you
For the rest of my life

When I come home
After fighting the war
We'll light one more candle
And give thanks to our Lord

    OHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh this is beautiful. SO loving and tender. Love the way you end it with encouragement and inspiration. We should all light candles until every soldier returns home safely. Brilliant write. Best wishes in the contest.
