Lighting a candle

Watching it slowly burn

Hypnotizing to the eye

It flickers, twists and turns



Orange and yellow

The glow is warm

Even though it is small

It fills the room

With a sense of calm



And as shadows dance across the wall

Your eyes are bright

The flame stays strong

You embrace the warmth

The comforting flow

Of energy traveling

To and fro



Hope is like a candle

Lighting your way

Even through the darkest hallway



It keeps one calm

It makes one think

It helps one rise

After it sank



Hope is the light

The one that always burns bright

The one that helps you see

Who you are

Where you belong

When the time is right



It is energy

It is purpose

And it helps you see through the night

Hope is there

Always

Forever
