Be My Candle, Show Me the Way
A sestet poem from someone in need
Burn for me
Be my candle in the night
Burn for me
Make my life bright
Guide me as I make this journey
Show me the way
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
Stay with me
Give me your sight
Stay with me
Help me in my fight
I need someone who can be strong
Show me the way
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
Care for me
When all seems lost
Care for me
If all our paths we have crossed
Take my hand, make me strong
Show me the way
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
Burn for me
When my candle goes out
Burn for me
Without a shadow of doubt
Be my candle day and night
Show me the way
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

[Authors note: In each of the sestet verses, the first and third lines are the same, and the second and fourth lines rhyme, leaving the sixth line the same for each verse.
It reflects the potential feelings and asks for help through the journey of someone with a chronic illness, such as cancer or a mental illness].
Till next time,
