Tonight I'll Light Some Candles

Tonight I’ll light some candles

For some people who have died,

A custom on the holiday

To which I will abide.

 

I’m not religious, but, to me,

A ritual like this

Acknowledges the fact that there

Are those we truly miss.

 

Of course, besides my parents

There are others who have passed

Who were special in so many ways

Their memories hold fast.

 

Though they all don’t get a candle,

For the ones who’ve had to part,

There’s a little flame I’ll keep alive

Forever in my heart.
