FOR BABY SOON TO BE BORN
I am lighting a candle for you little baby
You, who is yet to be born.
I have no church for my body
But there is one in my soul.
I silently walk up to the altar
And make my request
I carry my parents before me
I appeal to a force that is greater than we
To hear me
You are the child of my child
My hope: that the world will welcome you warmly.
I reach up and feel the glow
Generations of candlelights flicker before me
I step forward to light yours.
The flame spreads out to fill you
It touches your parents
Who are so deeply loved
May it keep you all safe and filled with joy.
Sometimes all we have to give is what we are
Possibly it's the greatest gift that one can bestow.
So I'm lighting this candle for your, little baby,
Because I already love you so.
