Light a Candle

 Light a candle for those we mourn.

 Into a new life they will be born.

 Do not look for them at the gravesite.

 They are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light.

 They have gone to a new world where there is no darkness, no pain.

 Their light and essence will always remain.

 Light a candle for those who have left this mortal place.

 They are free to travel through time and space.

 When we think of them, they are near.

 When we sit in a beautiful garden. Their voices we hear.

 When we listen to a divine symphony,

 We close our eyes, their faces we see.

 Light a candle for they have not really gone.

 With each flickering flame, in your hearts they will always belong
