Lonely Candle

Lonely candle on the sand

The April wind blows

But the flame stands tall

Strong

Flickering on

The sole source of light

On a dark ocean night

On this early spring eve

I visit this place

I kneel at the candle

Whisper a prayer

Heave a soft sigh

Shed a small tear

The flame flickers out

But in my heart

The flame burns on

Always present

Watching over

Lighting the path

Warming my soul

I feel her there with me

And I smile at Heaven
