This campaign is for our children
who are no longer with us,
Our Shining Lights.
We want their memory kept alive and
National Children's Memorial Day
is just for them.
National Children's Memorial Day-
9th Annual Worldwide Candle Lighting
is December 11, 2005
Everyone, in every time zone around the world,
at 7 PM, is invited to light a candle
in honor of all children who have died,
that their light may always shine.
As candles go out in one time zone,
they will be lit in the next,
creating a wave of light that
will encircle the globe.
Please join us in this 24-hour memorial
by lighting a candle,
wherever you are,
at 7 PM on December 11.
LIGHTS OF LOVE
Can you see our candles
Burning in the night?
Lights of Love we send you
Rays of purest white.
Children we remember
Though missing from our sight
In honor and remembrance
We light the candles in the night.
All across the big blue marble
Spinning out in space
Can you see the candles burning
From this human place?
Oh, angels gone before us
Who taught us perfect love
This night the world lights candles
That you may see from above.
Tonight the globe is lit by love
Of those who know great sorrow,
But as we remember our yesterdays
Let's light one candle for tomorrow.
We will not forget,
And every year in deep December
On Earth we will light candles
As ...... we remember.
