Single Purple Candle

Within a flicker your life sailed away like the rushing tide upon a purple sea it carrying you along to be placed by God's side setting your soul free If only your eyes could tell me of the splendor you now see and emit your light of purple brilliance so as to ease my sad heart of agony In silence I lite a purple candle for you knowing forever you are near my arms reach out to hold your shadow while my eyes are covered and veiled Your candle starts to dim the melting wax dripping into the shapes of a thousand tears consuming my heart of the sadness and deprivation that you are not here In paradise you now belong as the Angels sing your warrior song today is your birthday and I know the greatest gift was God calling you home But as your Mother my heart continues to suffer with grief as I lay upon my bed with your blanket and savor your lasting scent Watching your purple candle flicker and glow as it vibrates my lost heart my love for you Son forever ablaze knowing for only a short while we are apart Speak softly to me in my dreams while giving me visions of a young child at play the purple candle continues to burn my sweet child, 'Happy Birthday'. We miss you Caleb. Happy Birthday copyright 2016 From Aunt Tammy Reams- to my Sister
