Scented Candle

Scented candle,
Flickers out,
Leaving me
To a world of doubt

Your light is gone,
You've slipped away,
Yet I know,
We'll meet again some day

Your light is gone,
No more shadow cast,
And though my soul,
Is now aghast

And life does end,
I know at last,
Your pain is done
You're flying fast

To heaven's realm
Where is peace and joy
I'll always be,
Your little boy.
