Lighting A Candle

It is simple.

Light a candle.
Let it glow
in the window
so that love
might travel
to the heart
of the one
that is leaving

and pray,
pray,
pray.

Let the simplicity of a welcome smile
walk with confidence on the same path
where kindness of gathers
around a table open to grace
holding the hand of the departing soul

and prays;
prays,
prays.

It is simple.

Light a candle.

Pray.
