To Light A Candle

For you this Shining Light
Leaping in the silent darkness,
Glowing in the one night.

For you, to ease the loneliness,
Hidden tears and pain,
Sleeping alone in the darkness.

For you, shelter from cold rain-
Warmth and Light,
To break and shatter our chain.

For you, this Shining Light
Fighting the silent darkness,
Waiting for that one night.
