My candle burns for those who drive
the nation’s streets and highways,
guarding those who navigate
the endless routes and by-ways.
My candle burns to keep all safe
along the country’s roads…
motorcycles, buses, cars,
and trucks with heavy loads.
My candle burns for those along
to be there on the ride,
who watch the undulating route
and take it all in stride.
My candle burns for engines, brakes
and tires that go around,
turning, turning as they go
across the miles of ground.
My candle lifts its light to give
a path for all to see –
so all who travel on their way
can reach home – trouble free.
