The Flame of LIfe

Life’s eternal flame glows bright
As past and present concludes to futures light
The centre of the flame burns deep
Everlasting times towards us will creep
The flame, a symbol of peace and love
Rises high into the sky above
Its tips climbing to heaven gate
Bringing with it the desire not to be late
As life goes on and we sit and wonder still
What is our destiny, our forever will
As our flame burns brightly with age
And we star on our worlds centre stage
It takes us through to the end of time
As it burns forever in eternal prime
Life like the flame life will never cease to end 
Someone else will carry it forward, it will forever transcend
