We Are Reminders Poem by Ima Ryma

Advent candles, we have been named,
Meaning coming of child newborn
In a manger becoming famed
Where Jesus came on Christmas morn.
Within a wreath, we candles sit.
Four Sundays before Christmas be
Each of we candles being lit,
In guiding to divinity,
To symbolize the human quest
For hope, for faith, for joy, for peace.
And Jesus' birth did bring the best
That good on Earth should never cease.

Advent candles, we're lit to say
Soon will be coming Christmas Day.
