A life of darkness Crying out in vain For someone to help… To ease my pain. Drowning in tears Hiding from fears Never knowing when To be whole again. A candle in the darkness It shows me the way It chases away the shadows And calls my name. Just one light in the darkness Just one path for me to take A risk at stake A transition to make. "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other course, no other way... No day but today" ~Broadway Musical RENT~ *Cassandra Roseen* |

"And if everyone lit just one little candle, what a bright world it would be." Nice thoughts. Follow the light. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Hope! One candle dispels the darkness! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Beautiful, but sad. The key here is the hope I read in your last verse. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just one light in the darkness Just one path for me to take A risk at stake A transition to make ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The light of hope will light the way. Keep searching, your heart will soon open to a new and brighter day. Hugs, Deb |

A wonderfully dark piece. Speaks very strongly, and is written wonderfully. Don't lose sight of that light. may true peace find you where you are. ~Alison~ "Close your eyes, and you'll see. Cover your ears, and you'll hear." |

Wow...an excellent read. BTW did you get the title from 'Candle on the Water'? **No weapon will pierce my heart, no hand will be raised to harm me as long as I write.** ~a_little_girl |

Thank you all for your replies! Actually, no i didn't get my title from "candle on the water" it just kinda jumped into my head. Thank you all so much! "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other course, no other way... No day but today" ~Broadway Musical RENT~ *Cassandra Roseen* |
