"Flame"
Look at the flame

how it lights up a cold dark place,

how such a small candle

lightens up a sad face.

Yet I ask,

why does it bring tears to my eyes

when it looks so quiet

like a small drop of light in my life?

As I watch it there

a hush of wind blows by

the flame dances

like a glowing fairy in the dark sky.

Oh, how the flame

reminds me of bitter memories.

Watch it there

and perhaps the point you'll see.

Little candle,

the flame burns the wick

sad, sad, flame

I can't hardly speak.

Sometimes I think

I am a flame alone in the dark.

Waiting, waiting,

waiting for someone to stand with me

in my heart.

Slowly, slowly,

the little flame burns out.

Yet, I thank it

For it listened to cries the that weren't loud.
