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.
