The Light Of A Candle

 

I have a light in my life
It fills my heart with love and hope
It lights up my soul, it is my rock
But it flickered
So briefly, it faltered
And I knew darkness … fear … briefly, I felt real fear
I knew loneliness as never before
The fear of loss overcame me
My light just wavered like a candle flame
As a window opens
It dimmed
But it stayed alight … it flared anew
It restored my hope
That light reopened the windows of my soul
I live again …
