I light this candle


I light this candle in memory of you,
My life, my child, my heart,
May it shine bright and true,
As you did from the start.

In its flickering flame I see,
The life we shared together,
The love and wonderful memories,
That I'll carry with me forever.

I light this candle in memory of you,
I look up to the Heavens where you are,
I see the lights of Heaven shining bright too,
But your candle shines brighter than the brightest star.

My child you are still so much a part of me,
Even though you are no longer here,
You live on in my heart where you will always be,
No matter what, I will always keep you there.

On this special night I light this candle for you,
And I hope every one who sees it will know
How very special you are, how much you are loved and missed too,
And will remember you with me when they see its golden glow.........
