A Lovely Candle

Encouragement from a friend
Is a candle burning brightly,
For when you’re down it’s hard to see
And do and takes things lightly.

The candle has a healing touch
And overcomes “the blues” with gladness.
Soon you’ll break out into laughter,
Driving out all gloom and sadness.

But more than that, encouragement says,
“I love you and believe in you”.
The candle sheds its lovely light
To brighten all you’re going through.

“Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.”
Proverbs 12:25 KJV

“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and ealth to the bones.”
Proverb 16:24 KJV

“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine...”
Proverbs 17:22 KJV
