Lighting Your Way

If i was one thing, I’d be a candle

Lighting the way so you can handle

Your life easier without woes

Not having to fight with your foes

I'd help keep you from stumbling over

Things blocking your path to an open door

If i light your path, life is easier

Even strong winds, my light will not deter

No matter what, I’m here for you

To cheer you up when you are blue

Do not fret when times get tough

If things look down or kind of rough

Just remember, I’m always here

In your heart, close and near

I will help you out in every way

Happiness and love in your heart will stay

Don't blow me out, that's one request

Unless it's me you do detest

I do not try to hurt anyone

That isn't good or any fun

But one day you may leave me behind

You may no longer need my light to shine

If that day comes, go on your way

And i will hope to see you again someday

If one day, i didn't appear

Do not worry, do not fear

I may be gone, but in your heart

The light i gave you did not depart

It will be there forever and a day

To always bring happiness and light your way

Farewell for now, I’m needed elsewhere

If your path grows dark, in your heart isn’t there

So I’m really not gone, just not seen

I would not leave, I’m not that mean

Only one simple request that i must say

Please, never forget those who light your way
