8 Candles for 8 Hopes and Dreams

1st Candle - raising my children to be courageous and strong, but are not embarrassed to sing a heartfelt song.

2nd Candle - a warm bed for all on these cold winter nights. No fear of Overdosing or Frost Bite.

3rd Candle - For the courage to tell my loved ones how much they mean to me. Without them, I could not be all that I can be.

4th Candle - To know which road of the many roads that I should take. And not be afraid of making a mistake.

5th Candle - To never feel the sting of regret. I know that I can never pay off that debt.

6th Candle - To speak words of life and healing. Not letting my heart become unfeeling.

7th Candle - To fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. Instead of looking around and waiting for someone else.

8th Candle - To love my wife as fiercely as the day I met her. Boredom threatens all relationships, but my feelings for her still stir.
