Louise Riveiro - Mitchell Poet Rhyme

The Candle's Glow Lives On

To really understand the concept of  this work one needs  to go back to that day, 
It was that afternoon in Dallas the year 1963 when in the blink of an eye a Family and country’s hopes and dreams  were taken away.
For five long years we searched  in hopes to find that candle's  glow.
Searching for that one who would step up and show us the  
Direction  we needed to go
As that young man stepped up to address the people that day in January,
He gave us back that hope, than candle's glow, he became our Bobby. 
For 82 days we watched him bring  life and  determination back to this country Again,
And then it happened our young  knight was  struck down and we found 
Ourselves lost  again .
Just as his brother before, the young man with a dream was  with us no more. 
Though they both are gone, yet  the glow of that candle they lit will and does Live on.
