Yesterday's Candle

Don't be ashamed of yesterday.. We took chances in times of disarray.. Built bridges that we can't cross alone.. Through narrow paths to lead us home.. Forks in the road that divided hearts true.. We went our ways and watched each other choose.. Tread lightly if your path is in the dark night.. Look up to the sky and remember I'm still your light.. Remember yesterday and the wisdom learned.. We shared a candle light but never got burned..

This poems says so much to me, Michael. There was a man I loved and though our paths diverged, he is still a friend and source of light in my life. Definitely a favorite for me, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Hi Michael, Really enjoyed your verse here.Sometimes people in love enjoy there time together.Alas,they come to a crossroads in the relationship and decide that want different things.Well expressed my friend.Wm
