Stillness of A Candle



A candle bright on a snowy night
Inspires  hope in it's might.

On mantel above fireside,
It sets all strife, conflict, aside.

A candle bright on a snowy night
Convinces one everything's alright.

Around a candle  we draw near,
For it's ambience assuages fear.

Grant us faith for yet another year
Following Our Savior so dear.

A candle glows on a snowy night.
As spirits rise higher than a kite.

A subtle glow, serene sight,
A candle bright on a snowy night,
Calms us until in peace we abide,
Along the Kansas prairie wide.
