A Red Candle I Light For You
A red candle I light for you my son on your birthday
Because I cannot be with you I burnt incenses in the temple
Asking that you be Blessed and gifted with Happiness always
For I am afar, I bought for you flowers which you may never see
They were violet asters, white and lilac stacys and lavander mums
I lit a red candle because you love the color red
I prayed while watching over the flame that you be bathed in
the light of understanding, reason, acceptance and peace
and that you may feel the warmth of my love sent over
from my cold mountain home.
At our altar in the prayer room I offered five oranges
for the nourishment of your soul
I love you my Son
Happy 10th Birthday Joshua
Somewhere there is also this solitary tulip that I found. It was the first time I've seen one in Baguio. It is colored yellow
