Light a Candle

Light a candle in your heart
For some lost soul today.
As it burns keep praying for
That soul who's gone astray.

Keep it lit, quench not the flame,
Pray morning, noon and night.
You will feel an inner glow
Your candle will glow bright,
And light the path.

That wayward one will find his way anew,
And you will find an inner glow
As God smiles down on you.

By Treva E. Stokes (1912-1980)
