                    Love
                    like
                     a
                   flame
                     on
                     a
                     c
                     a
                     n
                     d
                     l
                     e
                    burns
                   bright
                     at
                    first
                     but
                    then
                    ever
                   slowly
                     the
                    flame
                   flickers
                and all at once
            all is lost and all has been
             traded for a clump of wax.

Artistically done! But love has to be better than that. They don't all die out and leave ya with a clump of wax.

When you can't make up your mind
Which way is right for you,
Stop and softly ask yourself,
What Would Jesus Do?

Ouch....  As each day is the next to the death of us all....all things must die....But the light provided but the love of this candle can not be overlooked.  Share that light with others and they will share thier light with you and together the candles will never die    

 There are two kinds of pedestrians...the quick and the dead. Drive it like you stole it.

Thank you WhiteDov and First_Knight, but actually I don't feel like this, I was just having fun with a poem I had written a long time ago in high school and it just happened to come back to me.
