A Flame Once Burned
The flame that once burned in that mortal shell
through life and love that sparked many emotions
It was now gone forever, its fire quelled
It had burned through many storms upon life's ocean
In tears and laughter, it would continue to burn
Through life and love that sparked many emotions
When the flame dimmed and flickered, it caused some concern
would it blaze back and resume its dance?
In tears and laughter it would continue to burn
Time had stolen much of its radiance
The time of its end had finally come
would it blaze back and resume its dance?
But this once great flame did finally succumb
had flickered awhile before going out
The time of its end had finally come
Of its end there was no doubt
The flame that once burned in that mortal shell
had flickered awhile before going out
It was now gone forever, its fire quelled
