A Candle Burns... a Prayer for the New Year

A candle burns in my heart and home.....

A candle burns in my heart and home, for those whose New Year will not mean a New Chance at Life. May its light show me the path to end this injustice. 

May its warmth fill my heart with compassion and resolve to put right any wrongs that I can. 

May my heart be strong yet compassionate.  May my mind be vast but remain focussed. 

May I never forget the reasons why I lit this candle- this year...... this candle that burns in my heart and home.
