Candle Lighting
Days of beauty stretch before us.
It’s truly Spring out in the forest.
The flowers of Spring bloom many colors.
But green is first, then color follows.

In Spring and Summer flowers show
Many colors as they grow.
They don’t stop until the freeze.
Winter whites then blanche our trees.

I love the colors that I see.
I learn from God inside of me.
An open mind with faith in love
Helps me as I problem solve.

The problems we all face in life
Are solved no matter what our stripes.
Time goes on to life’s conclusion.
We learn lessons from confusion.

That’s the school we call “hard knocks.”
If we don’t learn, our lives can stop.
Often times that makes us listen.
We finally learn another lesson!

A stubborn mind means stunted growth.
So many lost, and are morose.
Don’t be stubborn, please accept
God’s not finished with you yet!

Thank You, Lord, for life on earth.
You gave Your Son, and caused His birth.
You’ve recorded His example.
When we read, You light our candles.
