Even if I could light six million lights <br />I could not rekindle your light <br />And your’s was only one <br />Not one in a million <br />But one of six million <br />Snuffed out, blown out, crushed out <br />Lights <br /> <br />“Let there be light” and the world was full of light <br />And your light brought light to your world <br />Your home <br />Your family <br />Your street <br />Your town <br />Each year <br />Until the darkness came <br />And put out all the lights. <br /> <br />So now I stand <br />Match in hand <br />To light a light <br />Not your light for you <br />But your light for me <br />To brighten my world <br />My home <br />My family <br />My street <br />My town <br />Each year <br />Until the darkness is no more <br />And the world is full of light.<br /><br />Lewis Eron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lighting-a-memorial-candle-for-one-of-the-six-mi/
