I am lighting candles tonight, the candles given to me this weekend as a house warming gift by a dear friend.

I am lighting candles tonight for a friend, who is in the place I was just under a year ago.

I am lighting these candles tonight to send the same sentiments to my friend, that my friend brought me in those dark times.

I am lighting these candles tonight for anyone and everyone in a sad and lonely place, where the heart aches for love, the soul yearns for happiness and their world longs for peace.

I am lighting these candles tonight for me.  For everyone.
