I light a single candle
Shining peace upon the land,
I give thanks for all my treasures
Nurtured close at hand,
~
My heart does store most precious
All the love that it can hold,
Gentle thoughts do comfort me
Your blessings are foretold.
~
I’ve seen you in my mind’s eye
I’ve felt you in my soul,
Reaching I embrace you
And lovingly enfold.
~
We all were made for loving
To our hearts be true,
And as the glowing candle
I share my peace with you.

I’ve felt you in my soul,
Reaching I embrace you
And lovingly enfold.
Something very special here…. Peace and Love to you dearest friend — and thank you for blessings on my “sockets” — the shoulders are acting out more than hips at current… but working to coax them to behave so I can enjoy all the festivity around here…. kids home and lots of celebrations… so all good xxooo Robyn
Thank you Robyn, this one was from the heart! I am so very pleased you liked it. Sorry about the arms, happy about the hips, hoping the coaxing works dearest of dearest friend. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Love you, Penny xox

My pleasure. I knew you’d understand! Kindred soul of mine! 🙂
i have read a lot of posts recently that made me think of you. it’s nice when we cross paths with someone, and we realize that we have soul litter mates! every so often i think, ‘i got sent to the wrong planet, ‘ and then i cross paths with others who are wired like i am!
feliz navidad!

Thank you, it is a most pleasant feeling to have someone tell you that you are in their thoughts. I’ve been sure for many years that I got sent to the wrong planet too (I know I don’t “speak” the same “language” as most lol)! I wonder how many of us there are? feliz navidad y un feliz año nuevo!
I especially liked “I share my peace with you .” Thank you!! Merry Christmas and all the very best to you and yours…looking forward to a new year…
thank you very much. a very Merry Christmas to you and those close to you also … I also my friend! 🙂
Beautiful.
Thank you so very much!
