Yes.  The candle’s burning brightly.

Yes.  Its flame is clear and true.

Yes.  It lights the way ahead to show

a path for all you do.

They say the Northern Lights are out,

for lots of the USA.

They say the sight’s magnificent,

a Fabulous Display.

I guess I’ll have to take their word.

I’ve searched skies far and near.

The only thing I see is clouds.

It’s dark and gloomy here.

The candle’s burning for you –

sure and steady through the rain.

It will cast its light before you

till you’re safely home again.

Thirty-six hours of rain, they say,

is out in the ocean, heading our way.

It’s rained for the better part of a week,

but it hasn’t begun to reach its peak.

I said, last summer, that I wouldn’t complain

when fall rolled round and it started to rain.

So,I’m really not whining ‘bout being wet.

I just do wonder how wet it will get.

I’m waiting beside the Rainbow Bridge.

Soon, there’ll be a

little break in the weather.

When the sun peeks out,

we’ll both hold hands

and we’ll walk across together.

It’s time to make a final choice

to vote in the election.

It’s time to slide right off the fence

and make a firm selection.

I’ve read what the incumbents say.

I’ve read whom they oppose.

My ballot’s lacking what I need:

a box marked “None of Those.”

The “bomb cyclone” was just a dud.

Yes, it rained a little bit.

We had some wind and some drops of rain,

but, that was just about it.

Do you feel the warm protection

of the candle’s steady flame?

It sends its light before you.

It’s burning in your name.

May this blessing comfort you today.

May you find a restful heart.

May you find a clear and steady path

in ev’ry thing you start.

The candle’s burning steady

with a flame that’s clear and true,

lifting up its bright and shining light

to show the path for you.
