Written for a friend of mine  Tonight I Light This Candle Tonight I light this candle with every thought of you in mind And, only for the great at heart, will I light it everytime It's from the deepest to the smallest to every way that I can see I light this candle now for every part of you in me... Tonight I light this candle for what I wish to one day hold And, I light it for that ending to a story never told So, inside I'll keep with me what a thought can surely give And, hold onto you in every way in every day I live... God, tonight I light this candle for every prayer I've sent her way And, for every sleepless night I've watched the night turn to day For every moment that has passed those nights with her so strong at heart I light this candle now and again for every mile we sleep apart... Tonight I light this candle for the eyes I rarely see And, I light it and I hope that through yours you're seeing me Tonight I light this candle for the strength to speak the words And, I light it so in time they can easily be heard... Tonight I light this candle just to feel your hand in mine And, if I could just taste the way to freedom it would be forever this time Tonight I light this candle for the smile I feel inside And, I light it from these thoughts everytime I close my eyes... Tonight I light this candle for the future I believe And I light it for what the night has been set out to be Tonight I light this candle for the soon and welcome change So, tonight I light this candle in your name...

Saunni, what a beautiful poem to your friend, and for you too, for each time you give light, you receive it, and you are surely a ray of sunshine! Your friend is a lucky girl to have you love her so, as friendship like this is a gift to treasure. ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance. (Lee Ann Womack) |
