Candle of Love

I knew her name

Though I had never seen her face



The very power of her words

Rekindled my dying faith



She lifted me above despair

And eased the loneliness I had known



She lit one tiny candle

That burned an endless flame



Now at last we will meet face to face

I stand alone and eagerly anticipate



But my worries and fears quickly fade

When I see the beautiful smile upon her face



I will forever be grateful for the candle of love

A candle she lit with the fire of her smile

A sincerely written poem, tricia...
simple,perhaps...but a profoundity of truth and love beneath its brevity.
