I lit a white candle in the window tonight
It&#8217;s one single candle, the road home it will light.<p>My Prodigal spouse is lost and alone
In his mind, it&#8217;s been this way all along.<p>Time goes so slowly, but I want him to know
He can see the light, and then follow<p>The light is lit for as long as it takes
Then one day soon, I hope I&#8217;ll celebrate<p>Come home, dear husband, I miss you so
Our home is lonely, empty, please show<p>I know we can talk, and love and just &#8220;be&#8221;
There used to not be me or you, just &#8220;we&#8221;<p>My love knows no bounds, I&#8217;ll wait till eternity
This promise I made, it&#8217;s still my certainty<p>I meant it for life, I&#8217;ll do it forever
When you see my love, I hope you&#8217;ll remember<p>How we laughed so easily and cried together
Any of the bad times, our love could weather<p>I never knew how far apart we had grown
I never will again, take love for a &#8220;known&#8221;<p>It&#8217;s you I choose, it&#8217;s you I truly love
I want to forgive, be loved and to love<p>Once again, forever and a day
I lit a single candle in the window today<p>B.G.

Awesome lupo!!!<p>You said some many things so many of us feel.<p>Just this week I thought to get a 3 wick candle to use while my H is here. A family candle per say, to light each day that our family is together. 3 wicks, 1 for the past, 1 for the present, and 1 for the future. Am not sure thought it would be a good idea.<p>H will be here a week or so over Christmas and thought that it would be nice to honor our family all being present.<p>Again I like the poem have saved it. Dawn<p>My 16 yo D just read the poem and loved it!!<p>[ December 13, 2001: Message edited by: daybreak ]</p>

Lupo,
I agree with Cali. Let us know. I sent it to my H. I doubt I will get a response. I'll let you know. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Uh, in Plan A, long distance! WH will talk on phne for HOURS - IF - I call HIM. Otherwise, I don't exist! Too weird.<p>I think I'll send it (gotta go snail mail).
