Soul Light
I place the tin candle holder on the tray,
light a match
and hold it steadily at the candle’s wick –
watching as the flame slowly comes to life,
rising higher and higher.
This candle, this soul light,
will burn for at least twenty-four hours.
A small window of opportunity
To bring you back to life.
To recreate for others all that you were.
To share with them all that you represented.
To give your neshama a spark once more.
I say a silent prayer and remember.

Nice poem.
that's a beautiful poem, Pearl. It should come with every memorial candle, as a "prayer" to be read while lighting the candle.
Dear Pearl,
A lovely and thoughtful reflection ... I am,
Sincerely yours,
Alan D. Busch
well done
