Thirty-Three Candles

Thirty-three candles light up my day
Without them my soul lives in the dark
The nightmares never go away
And all I hear is the dog bark


Thirty-three candles gives me the courage
To daily meet my fears
Without them I can’t flourish
And all I feel are my tears


Thirty-three candles never leave me
They live in my mind
They let my thoughts be free
And they help put the past behind.
