Would you light my candle
For the night is long
Love with gentle handle
When the song is gone

Could you go on shining
In the darkest night
For your love I'm ever pining
Especially when I'm touched by fright

May you be a beacon
Shining cross the waves
My out of control freaking
Depends on love that saves

Might you offer dawning
To lighten endless night
My trust in you has new hope forming
The prospect of delight

Would you gift me sunshine
In my lonely days
could your light upon me shine
teach me in your ways

I'll accept your offering
Thank you for its prize
All my love I am proffering
To share light seen through your eyes.

Kethry love, your candle is shining brightly, and it's beaming out beauty love. This is another stunner love and it's wonderful. I love it of course
Take care

Thanks everyone,
this was a little pen-sieve from me. (Which is better than the mis-sieves I usually write)
be well
