Candlelight

Candlelight

Candlelight

As my candle, burning bright
Sends shadows off on this dark night
It offers peace, and hope and love
To the horses dancing up above.

My prayers and thoughts will help them find
Beloved friends they left behind.
So they may comfort us in turn,
And thus it is my candle burns,

With quiet tears, lovingly shed
I hear the horses, overhead
Their pounding hooves
are thunder stirred,
For another friend
has joined the herd.
