My candle, by Jamie
i stood at church
we lit candles silently
to show our worth
but someone blew
my candle went out
i felt i had nothing
not even a shadow beside me
i still held the candle
sweet lil candle
praying someone would light it
spare me a spark
i jumped at a tap
i turned and saw someone i didnt kno
she just smiled and lit my candle
she lit it with her own
slowly she sat down
sitting next to me and smiling
lightly she gave me a hug
then moved a long
stranger to me
never knew her name
but in the kindness of her heart
she lit my candle
light beamed
and i saw my shadow
others saw my face
and i wasnt alone
something so small
saved my day
and i will never get to thank her
for lighting my candle
my spirit
my hope
