Happy New Year

Lighting a candle on this day
          for all the prayers we never say
For all the wishes we hold dear in the heart
For all the healing that we have yet to start

Lighting this candle
For friends here and there
Praying for recognition in the tiny moments we share

Grateful for family
Those chosen and those by name
Sending Love through the flame

Lighting a candle this New Year’s Day
Reminder of the Light in each of us as we say
I recognize the Light and Love in you
          as the same Light and Love in me
Created by the Divine to share in the Grace of Unconditional Love eternally.
