Leave a light on! <br />My bold soldier boy <br />Will be coming home soon <br />I'll leave a light on. <br /> <br />Leave a light on! <br />There is no telling where he might be- <br />Oh! Leave a light on! <br />Just in case he is coming back home to me: <br />I'll leave a light on. <br /> <br />Leave a light on- <br />It eases the ache in my heart <br />As the battles rage on. <br />Please, please leave a light on. <br /> <br />Leave a light on. <br />Those who watch over the dead- <br />Know to leave a light on. <br />For the dying the darkness holds dread. <br />So we'll leave a light on. <br /> <br />Leave a light on! <br />For the sweetheart who'll never come home... <br />I'll leave the light on...<br /><br />Megan Lacey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/leave-a-light-on/
