Light a candle

Light a candle

Watch it burn so bright

A shimmering flame

To brighten the night

Sits all alone

Throughout the day

Lights up at night

To show you the way

When people see the candle

It turns night to day

It brightens their lives

In every way

But then comes the day

When the candle goes out

But there sure is one thing

That there can be no doubt

You were a candle

You helped me to see

Two best friends that will last forever

So when you see a candle in the window

Just know that we’re always together.

For my best friend Pete.
