Light a Candle

Light A Candle by Avalon


Light a candle
for the old man who sits staring
out a frosty windowpane

Light a candle
for the woman who is lonely
and every Christmas is the same

For the children who need
more than presents can bring

Light a candle
Light the dark
Light the world
Light a heart or two
Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you

Light a candle
for the homeless and the hungry
a little shelter from the cold

Light a candle
for the broken and forgotten
may the season warm their souls

Can we open our eyes
to shine through the dark

Light a candle
Light the dark
Light the world
Light a heart or two
Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you

And in this special time of year
may peace on earth surround us here
and teach us there's a better way to live
and with every flame that burns
we must somehow learn
that love's the greatest gift
that we could ever give.....

Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Saturday, December 5, 2009, we woke up to see a beautiful snow covered neighborhood. It snowed about 1 inch and as soon as the sun came out that day, it was pretty much gone. However, we enjoyed it while it lasted!
