Keep the Candle Burning Bright

Created from but a bit of string...
A candle is a very simple thing.

Wax adheres onto a single flaxen strand...
Dipped, made smooth by patient hands.

Layered until complete and snowy white...
Once lit, it casts a constant glow by night.

Life seems so like that bit of string...
Each deed done, a completed thing.

And day by day, as we grow old at heart...

Perish the thought that we might ever grow apart.
