One Little Candle, By Carol Dunn

It’s just one little candle,
One tiny flickering light.
A challenge to the darkness,
A small beacon in the night. 

It could be just a gentle touch,
A reminder that you’re here.
Or a warm, compassionate hug,
That shows you understand and care. 

Maybe it’s a helping hand,
A thoughtful, practical deed.
A casserole, some laundry,
Whatever meets the need. 

Sometimes it only takes your smile,
To encourage and uplift.
And should that smile lead to laughter,
You’ve shared a precious gift. 

There’s comfort in shared silence,
Or in a softly spoken word.
Or in taking time to listen,
To feelings that must be heard. 

Yes, it’s just one little candle,
Softly glowing in the night.
But it can overcome the darkness,
If it will only share its light. 

Just one candle at a time,
Each one giving from its heart.
Reaching out to those nearby,
Asking them to do their part. 

To make sure the light keeps growing,
Reaching out to those in sorrow.
Offering comfort, warmth and hope,
Strength and courage for tomorrow.
