Be the Candle

 Be The Candle That Illuminates 
The Darkness of Life  

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world
You may not always understand.
May the pain you have known and conflict you have experienced  
Give you the strength to walk through life




Facing each new situation with courage and optimism.
Always know that there are those whose love and understanding
Will always be there, even when you feel most alone.

May you discover enough goodness in others
To believe in a world of peace.

May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours
Every day of your life,
And may you give these gifts as well as receive them.

Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.

Teach love to those who know hate,
And let that love embrace you as you go into the world.
