This is a great poem that I came across today, in the spirit of Christmas…
I Will Light Candles This Christmas
Candles of joy, despite all sadness,
Candles of hope where despair keeps watch,
Candles of courage for fears ever present,
Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days,
Candles of grace to ease heavy burdens,
Candles of love to inspire all my living,
Candles that will burn all the year long.
by Howard Thurman
