Eternal Flame
I hold a light
That barely flickers in the night,
It's wick almost drowned
In the melted wax tears,
Yet it willfully holds on
Burning a bright blue.
It is the candle lit in your name,
And I have waited
A lifetime for it to die,
For a strong wind to
Blow it out, or
A Light to eclipse its glow.
Still it burns,
Faintly, but steadily,
The eternal flame
You lit all those years ago.
