In the darkness of the night
Burns a flame of constant light;
My Candle burns for you.
The brightness beckons far and near;
Tells of the hero living here;
My Candle burns for you.
A mothers heart prays every day;
For Gods protection lead the way;
My Candle burns for you.
Both pride and fear compete for my joy;
Where most see a soldier I see my little boy;
My candle burns for you.
Please be safe my courageous son;
I know you won't come back til your jobs done;
My candle burns for you.
Finally when your home I'll scream and shout;
Only then will I blow my candle out;
My candle burned for you.
With all of my love to my brave son who so proudly serves his country.
2nd Lt. Matthew Taylor
