Candle

The candle burns within my heart
it never did go out
It shines inside perpetually
my love remains devout...

When we were young, you lit a fire
and flames of passion burned
What started many years ago
was more than love, I learned...

A bond remains, our souls are one
forever tied are we
When sorrow claims my tears no more
your face, again... I'll see...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
