White paper lantern
you are so light and frail
but that does not stop you
from wanting to set sail.
I fill your empty space
with my worries and regret
it does not weight you down
but it helps me forget.
A fire is lit within you
and then you start to glow.
Take my prayers with you
Its time to let you go.
I watch you float away
into the starlit sky
Which of the stars are you?
I cant identify.
God lights a fire in me
then I begin to glow
I’m filled with the holy spirit
From my head down to my toe
I am now called to rise up
and shine for all to see
so that they may grow a fire
and float alongside me
