A Candle of Peace

A first candle lit,
a candle of peace
beginning our journey
a light burning in that circle
never ending, glowing
committing ourselves
to be a light, that light
in this world,
not just this sanctuary,
this community, anticipating too
remembering his life, his promise
of eternal peace
