May the light from this candle be a reminder of the words of Christ,
who said, "
let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works
and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
(Matthew  5:16)
and 
May your candle offering rise like "fragrant incense"  before our Lord.  (Exodus 30:7-8)
