Holy candles
Lit in hope
Peace and joy
Laced in love
Everlasting
Flames ablaze
Light profound
Darkness flees
When God surrounds
The soul and self.
Amen

Dearest Martha Jane,
ReplyDeleteLovely poem and no doubt this also goes for the Hanukah celebration—laced in love...
Hugs,

Thank you, Mariette! And yes, this could most certainly refer to Hanukah, too. I have two daughters-in-law who come from a Jewish upbringing, and I'm delighted with both of them.
