TO A CANDLE
O candle! Tell me how you burn,
What is it that makes you glow,
A formula of the wax and flame,
Or a miracle of God's great love?
O candle! You fight the darkness
And with you I too
Ward of loneliness
It is love divine
Creating in us both
The flame that shines
It's yours and mine
Giving company
For your urge and my rhymes.
It is not
How the scientist defines
It is a small display
Proving to those
Who have eyes
That can see clearly
That all light is
But God's mercy.
