Lighting a candle for my son Patrick
Before I lost my son Patrick
Lighting a candle was just a tradition
To get my prayers answered more quickly,
But today after I lost my son Patrick
Lighting a candle is a painful reminder
Of my greatest loss of a beautiful life cut
So short... My son Patrick.
Lighting a candle is now an unthinkable,
Unbearable reminder of so many hopes
And dreams taken away from me.
But in the depth of my sorrowful journey,
Lighting a candle is also precious
Memories of Patrick that are taken into my
Broken heart and shattered soul as a
Keepsake to keep his memories alive
Beyond my life on earth.
Lighting a candle for my son is my faith
In God to embrace Patrick's new life
As glorious and peaceful as His kingdom.
Lighting a candle for my son Patrick is a
Symbol of my eternal love for him
That I am his mom and he is my son for
Eternity, for love never dies but grows
Deeper.
Lighting a candle will always surround
The beautiful soul of Patrick wherever I am
To guide him into eternal life.
Lighting a candle says it all Son:
I love you
I miss you
I need you
I am here for you always
You see, God, lighting a candle is a
Must... A link from me a lost mother to my
Beautiful son Patrick.
O Lord, Let it Shine High and Bright!!!
Amen. Amen. Amen.
Dedicated to my son Patrick Christian
