I found this site about the,
October 15th is National Perinatal Loss Awareness day…light a candle to remember a life lost to miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death. Candle vigil will last all day long.
Maybe we all shoudl light a candle on that day.
I also found this:
The song Candles was taken from the following article from Dear Abby. There once was a procession of children marching in heaven. Each held a lighted candle and as they marched, they sang. Their faces shone with happines. But one little child stood alone..."Why don't you join us?" one happy child asked. "I can't. Everytime I light my candle my mother puts it out with her tears."
Candles - Written by Tim Russell, Kokomo, IN
On streets of gold, walk many children with candles all aglow.
Happy faces, shining smiles, but there is one that stands alone.
Oh and whan asked to join the others she just smiles at them and says
That I cannot keep my candle lit from the tears from my mothers eyes.
For my mother is now weeping just for me.
Although she does not understand that I'm living in this promised land
Where my candle's light can take away her tears.
Oh sometimes it seems so lonely, in our hearts we seem so sad,
From a loss of our precious loved ones and the memories that we have,
Oh but keep your eyes on their lights, let their candle shine so bright.
For they cannot keep their candles lit, from the tears that we shed,
So remember that they're living in His love.
As Jesus walks with them, let their life shine within,
And their candles light can take away all our tears....
I think as close as a group that we are that we should pass the word around and try to light a candle for each loss that we have had. If we all do it there should be a very nice rememerbance of our lost ones.
Just a idea
