    I know that we will never cross our paths
                here on this plane..
    But I know for a certainty that we will
                meet again....
    Every day the miles between are lessened
                by desire..
    This life cannot put out the flame..
                 It is...
              Too strong a fire....


    From one life to the next I'll keep you
                burning in my mind..
    And when I reach the crossing place, I hope
                that I will find..
    you're standing there with open arms and
                your love that never tires....
    Our flame will never lose it's light..
                 It is...
              Too strong a fire....


    We've never met as lovers, yet we're so
                much more than friends..
    Your tender words are sparks of love
                in letters that you send....
    And though I'll never look into your eyes
                filled with desire....
    Your flame will glow for me, I know..
                 It is...
              Too strong a fire....


    So, hold my heart within your hands and
                treat it with such care..
    Just nourish it, and keep it warm,
                My heart is happy there....
    You lit the match and fanned the flames
                they're burning so much higher....
    Those flames will last, now and beyond..
                 It is...
              Too strong a fire....

I hope the embers will continue to smoulder, just so that they might start another fire...

well done, my friend...

A flame that lights the way for another soul
A light that shines the way
A soul that shines the light for another soul
A shining soul for the way

Oh My!! I read this piece of work and was sooo amazed at how you put that into words. Reading it, I found to be in a situation much the same...and you found the words I couldn't! So well written!!

Wow! Awesome! I can't explain how deep this one just hits me! Great work!

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown
