Candles flickering Flames dancing in the wind Just a reflection Of the fire burning within Hot wax dripping Puddling on the table Like words I try to speak But am not able You blow the candle out I watch the smoke stream Wondering if you realize You just extinguished my dream I scrape the wax from the table, throw it away Now thankful for the words I couldn't seem to say I put the candle in a drawer and close it tight I've learned the words will come when the time is right Hopefully next time I light the candle it will forever burn With the eternal kind of love, for which I yearn |

Thanks ellie, Jon, Brian, Denise, Erin, Brenda Brenda I think the longer it takes to get the candle lit again and the slower it burns the better it is??? Can't gaurantee that but seems to be proving true |
