Bill Grace - Coffee and Candle Light

Coffee and candle light is how I start each day
Seeing the girls off to school
A little prayer of safety
For the treachery on busy roads.
But before the time of prayer
Before Rembrandt's great icon*
Before the planner starts to rule the day
Before Bob Kimball's poetry
Or even scripture's great gifts
There is coffee and candle light
And almost always it is good.
