I Light a Candle

I Light A candle. For all the love, and all the lost. For all who paid the cost. I light a candle. For the memories that live. All the souls who died. For the mother's who cried. Because, the Devil lied. I light a candle. I light a candle for you. I light a candle because, yesterday is gone. and as I write this poem, of flames of love everlasting. For the times that's passing. For every breath, and I'm gasping. for 9/11, Planes crashing. I light a candle. For the slaves, for the power, pain, and rage, of my ancestors, for the lost man, superiors and warriors. For the Gods of the land who died taking a stand. Because, I can. I light a candle, with flames that will burn for eternity. I light a candle for you, in your memory from me. I light a candle for the human race, for the judgement, for the day. For a God who gave his only son, for us to live today. For the pain he must have felt, because, he made and paid the way. I light a candle for the suffering of many. I light a candle for your memory I light a candle even when I'm feeling empty. Thanking God, that he's with with me. that he's with me. I Light A Candle
