I light this candle of hope <br />For the people in Mindanao <br />Particularly in Maguindanao <br />A southern part in our country, the Philippines. <br /> <br />I light this candle of hope <br />For the weeping child, for the abused <br />For the weak women, tortured and some buried alive <br /> <br />I light this candle of hope <br />For the widows, widowers, orphans <br />for the mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. <br /> <br />This Christmas, I know it will be very hard <br />To celebrate Christmas with joy in your heart <br />It is not easy to lose a loved one. <br /> <br />Your tears will be gone, in His time <br />Your broken heart will be whole <br />Just keep that faith inside in each one of you <br />And keep this candle of hope burning..burning <br /> <br /> <br />Note: Please light your Candle of Hope too for them. <br /> In your own little way, you have helped them lighten their load. <br /> Thank you and God bless<br /><br />Meggie Gultiano<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/candle-of-hope-2/
