The candle burns evenly,
drops of wax pours down,
like snow on a volcano.
I watch the candle,
as I pray.
Its flicker reminds me,
that it will one day end.
And just like the candle,
I now shine bright.
For my youth I'm thankful.
For my life I'm grateful.
And when my time comes,
I hope that it ends,
just like this candle's.
Complete and in peace.

You've taken a candle and written an incredibly, spiritual poem.  I hope you are also grateful for your talent...I am.
