A Single Candle
Coping with a prognosis,
for some seems difficult,
but a flicker of hope
lingers in my heart.
Viewing death as devastating
is tantamount to snuffing
the inner candle,
a prelude to heaven’s glorious light.
Even as pain encumbers our abilities,
muddling our sense of reason,
bask in the glow of optimism
that earthly life is but a passage.
Through the tunnel we see a beam
that resonates through our souls.
A single candle illuminates
the path to eternal salvation.
