I Sit Gazing By the Candlelight

I sit gazing by the candlelight Trying to see my paper so I can write A poem for you with a theme that’s right So everyone can read about our plight Know our whole story and gain insight Of overcoming odds we had to fight That made a bond that withstood all might Which told the truth because we had the rite But does have a passion that does excite That pulls you in slowly and holds you tight Makes you hang on the words from day to night With an ending that is full of delight And has a morel of love that will never be finite All done as I sit gazing by the candlelight For Russell Sivey's By CandleLight contest Written by Kevin Clark
