The following candle poem was shared by Sharon Warren inviting each of us
to light a candle toshineand radiate our personal blessings, love and
prayers for healing. Sharon and her husband received this poem as a thank
you card some years ago from a class they were teaching entitled, LOVE.
It was written by Susan Florence and is in Sharon's forthingcoming book
entitled, Magnetizing Your Heart's Desire.
A CANDLE...........(poem)
A candle is such a simple thing,
It starts with just a bit of string.
Then dipped and dipped with patient hand,
It gathers wax upon the strand.
Until complete and ivory white,
It gives at last a lovely light.
Life seems so like that bit of string,
Each deed we do a simple thing.
Yet day by day when on life's strand
We work with patient heart and hand.
It gathers joy and makes dark days bright,
And gives at least a lovely light.
Shine on!
In a radiance of love, light & gratitude, Sharon Warren
Thank you so much Sharon!
