Mom
In wasted hours spent alone
I grieve over forgotten times departed
The candle slowly burns down
While the thin line of remembrance
Trails off and away from me-forever?
'Tis not enough just to experience life
But to also lap precious memories
When times of trouble bear down
And the very flame of the candle is threatened
For life without fond memories
Is like the flame without heat
Though many ventures into times past
Leave empty memories for a saddened mind
My flame grows hotter and brighter
For you are the warmth in this flame
And a memory never to be forgotten
