This poem connects our loved ones who were killed, to us, and them to our children making the Light a candle a significant connection moment to those present and to those we miss…
For those whose lives were cut short
For those Who I never had a chance to meet
I light a candle
I light a candle,
I remember you today as always,
I live to keep your memories alive,
And, i light a candle because I know, you are!
I, light a candle
Because i miss you,
Grandpa,grandma,Aunty,uncle,
Dad’s classmate,Mum’s best friend
I would have loved to meet you,
And i wonder where you are?
And I light a candle
I light a candle,
For all those smiles i will never see,
For all the missed moments,
And i wonder where you are?
I light a candle,
Because i know where you are,
You are right here with me,
In my heart,
And I light a candle , because i Love you!
