My Candle

Wind blows out your candle as a sense of darkness seems to come near.

You look for a lighter or a match, but there is none near.



A feeling of helpness and coldness comes over you.

As  the hope to find the light slowly dims.



Your heart starts beating fast.



You then call for help, hoping that someone will help you find the light again.

To help you feel warmth and love.



You close your eyes.



Will someone come or will your candle never be lit again?



Then a sense of warmth comes over you.

You open your eyes.

The candle is lit.



You look for someone to come out.

Then you hear a voice say:

I love you.

I will always be in your heart helping to light your candle.



Your heart starts beating normal again.

For your match will always be in the place most scared.

YOUR HEART.
