 The first  lesson of a candle

is how it loses nothing when it shares it’s light

In fact…when used to light another candle

it then burns twice as bright. 

I knew she was a candle from the day I met her…

always willing to share her light…to help in any way.

She possessed the power of a candle

the ability to brighten up a day.

The second lesson of a candle 

be it day or be it night

within the beauty of its flame

is the resilience of its light.

I knew she was a candle because the more she burned down

the more light she seemed to gain…

and even when she stopped burning…

her candle light remained.

I do not know the exact day her flame burned out

by that time she had long ago moved away…

but I do know the flame she shared with me

still lights my heart today.

I knew she was a candle the day I met her…

I could see the light within her eyes…

What I didn’t know is once she shared her light with me

Her light would never die.
