Lighting your way

If I was one thing, I'd be a candle
Lighting the way so you can handle

Your life easier without woes
Not having to fight with your foes.

I'd help keep you from stumbling over
Things blocking your path to an open door.

If I light your path, life is easier,
Even strong winds, my light will not deter.

No matter what, I'm here for you
To cheer you up when you are blue.

Do not fret when times get tough,
If things look down or kind of rough.

Just remember, I'm always here,
In your heart, close and near.

I will help you out in every way,
Happiness and love in your heart will stay.

If one day, I don't appear,
Do not worry, do not fear

I may be gone, but in your heart
The light I gave you did not depart.

It will be there forever and a day
To always bring happiness and light your way.

Only one simple request that I must say,
Please, never forget those who lit your way.
