Candleholders with a Candle-Lighting Song

Compiled by: Erika Hansen

We are the Torchbearers. We light the way down the paths of your life, illuminating your memories and guiding you towards the future. We provide hope when your journey is rough, and we help you to find the light at the end of dark tunnels. We are The Candleholders, and we offer you this Candle-Lighting Song.

I have three candles in my room

Slender and long and white,

Their tips are buds of fire bloom

That blossom every night.

And one I light for memory,

All steady as a star;

And one that burns for days to be,

And one for days that are.

I have three candles in my room

Slender and tall and fair;

And every one a fire bloom,

And every one a prayer.

The prayers you hear are the whispers of yesterday and the dreams for tomorrow. Often we must look back before we can begin the courageous quest that lies ahead.

A fugitive touch, filled with lingering

Flushes the senses with dizziness,

Those fleeting feelings, lighting your life

Remembered forever with the permanent ones.

A flicker of flame as the candle winks

A glimpse of Delightful surprise,

But just as quick, it's gone again

Mystic moments bow silent sighs.

Another warm pearl, it quickly falls

Joining the others cast before,

A trail of tears to the cooling pool

More memories added to expanding shore.

These are all we leave behind

Those special moments we begged to stay,

Upon whose horses our dreams are borne

As the candlelight fades away.

As this one light remains, pause for a second and reflect on the precious moments of our existence, bearing in mind how fragile they tend to be. For when the light is finally gone, all that will be left as you journey the path to the future will be the reassurance that the light of faith within your heart will continue to guide you.
