Like a light in darkness

She was like a candle, Shining with all her might, Too brief was the time that she Was allowed to share her light.

I barely knew the light she cast Before it became dark I barely heard the song she sang Like a nightingale or lark

In a place that’s real, outside of time She now sits to watch and wait. Until the time to join her again Just inside heavens gate.

She was like a candle A light cast in the dark. Her light it fell on each of us It could not miss its mark.

If we were to hold a mirror up To reflect to you her light, A thousand thousand sparkles Would shine throughout the night

And reflections on reflections Would propagate around Until the night was like the day And sunlight did abound.

We’ll miss you Jesi, our dear “Not You” And tears we’ll surely shed We know you live, and always shall This promise God hath said.

Until the time we meet again I will just say adieu And pray dear God to give us strength To help us carry through
