A Candle, Burning for Thee

Let me be a candle
Shining bright from my little corner
Lighting the space around me
Let me sweep away the darkness that surround the place

I do not long to be the star that brightens the sky
Nor do I yearn to be the silvery moon 
that rolls away the waves by its magnetic spell
Nor do I desire to be the beacon that shines its light afar
by standing so tall atop a hill or on a raving sea's edge


A simple candle burning bright and fragrant for Thee
Wherever You may have placed me to be
At home...at work and any other place may be
Let me bring out the fragrance of Christ's love
by the words I speak  and write
And by the genuine love I show towards others.
