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.
