Candles have many purposes and symbolize so much in our lives. They are something so simple yet can be so powerful. A watched candle can provide light in a dark room. They provide a feeling of relaxation and security. If not watched a candle can ignite an inferno. They can create a devastation so powerful to destroy everything. Candles come in many shapes and sizes. We have those creative molded versions of flowers, animals and other shapes. They come in jars and cans with lids. They come in small sizes perfect for cakes. They can be fat or skinny short or tall. When we look at candles and their purpose in our lives we have to ask what would life be without candles. Lincoln read by candle light. Churches use them for services, wedding or for prayers. We use them in our homes. Their flames chase away the darkness while their fragrance fills our homes with sweetness.
Something so simple and useful.
Let Me Be A Candle
Let me be a candle
standing straight and tall.
Let me be a candle
of use to one and all.
Let me be a candle
to brighten someone's day.
Let me be a candle
a light along the way.
Let me be a candle
that bends in times of strife.
Let me be a candle
that shows a well lived life.
Let me be a candle
who warms the coldest heart.
Let me be a candle
with wisdom to impart.
Let me be a candle
full of faith and hope and love.
Let me be a candle
for my Heavenly Father above.
