Candles burn, candles blaze,
A Soul with a flesh,
An angel not yet matured.
Candles dim, candles fade,
A Soul darkens,
An angel becomes human.
Candles brighten, candles enliven,
A Soul enlightened,
An angel discovers God’s grace.
Candles glow, candles glimmer,
A Soul is Called from flesh,
An angel gains her wings.
Candles’ light, candles’ shine,
Though Souls remain in flesh,
And she in Paradise,
With them, God’s angel still resides.
Candles’ flame, candles’ fire,
Souls of conflict, souls of Love,
God’s healing Peace and Grace be with them
An angel of Heaven above dwelling in their midst.
