Because it's Sunday I will light a candle For you Because it's Sunday And I couldn't take Tiptoeing through gravestones And tiny Christmas trees and wreaths Because it's Sunday I will light a candle For you And place it by your picture And I will try to remember That I am not alone in this Because it's Sunday And around the world Too many candles are lit
Reason for writing:
For my son who blessed me with five days of his life. Tonight is the Compassionate Friends World Wide Candle Lighting Ceremony when those who know the loss of a child are invited to light a candle at 7:00 P.M. local time and let them burn for an hour in remembrance.
