T.he Everlasting Light Those we love must sometime pass beyond our present sight. Must leave us and must leave our world without the radiant light. But, we can say that like the candle, they are just away, that another room is brightened by their warm and lovely ray. And in heaven's candelabra where they shine divinely bright, each candle burns forevermore in~. God's eternal light.
