Our Nation Remembers
Sandra Cantu

To Sandra
By, Lucian

If I had a moment more
What treat could I buy you at the store?
Would it be a lifesaver
Oh if God grant me that favor
To see once more that twinkle
The end of your nose curled up in a wrinkle
To see eternal beauty in your eyes
As I see them  in the blue skies
I go now but the song I sing
Remains every strong and will ever ring
Be at peace Sandra, you are with the Lord
No more pain on this earthen ford

THE CANDLE

If I was one thing, I’d be a candle,
lighting the way so you can handle your life,
not having to fight your foes.
I’d keep you from stumbling over things blocking
your path to an open door.
If I light your path, life would be easier.
No matter what, I am here for you,
to cheer you up when you’re blue.
Just remember I am always here,
in your heart, close and near.
I will help you out in everyway.  
But one day you will leave me behind.
You may no longer need my “light” to shine.
If that day comes, be on your way.
And I hope one day I see you again.
If one day, I do not appear do not fear,
I may be gone but in your heart
the light I gave you did not depart.
Please, never forget those who lit your way!!!!
