LIGHTING YOUR WAY

                   Lighting Your Way

            If I was one thing, I'd be a candle

            Lighting the way so you can handle

            Your life easier without woes   

            Not having to fight with your foes.

           I'd help keep you from stumbling over

        Things blocking your path to an open door
.
        If I light your path, life is easier,

        Even strong winds, my light will not deter.

        No matter what, I'm here for you

        To cheer you up when you are blue.

        Do not fret when times get tough,

        If things look down or kind of rough.

           Just remember, I'm always here,

        In your heart, close and near.

        I will help you out in every way,

       Happiness and love in your heart will stay.

        Don't blow me out, that's one request

             Unless it's me you do detest.

             I do not try to hurt anyone

             That isn't good or any fun.

        But one day you may leave me behind

       You may no longer need my light to shine.

           If that day comes, go on your way

       And I will hope to see you again one day.

              If one day, I don't appear,

             Do not worry, do not fear

        I may be gone, but in your heart

        The light I gave you did not depart.

        It will be there forever and a day

     To always bring happiness and light your way.

       Farewell for now, I'm needed elsewhere

   If your path grows dark, in your heart, I'm there.

       So I'm really not gone, just not seen,

       I would not leave, I'm not that mean.

      Only one simple request that I must say,

     Please, never forget those who lit your way.
