A Flame Burns Out

A flame burns and goes away,
no longer to walk the light of day.

The warmth and comfort linger on,
 the comforting light will never be gone.

Remember the flame, remember the light.
Remember the sound, remember the sight.

Comfort your soul with memories sweet.
The flame is gone, but not the comforting heat.

Warmth for the body, warmth for the soul.
Remember the flame, keep its memory whole.

It hasn’t gone, nor walked away.
It has simply faded from the light of day

Pain is rememberance and rememberance pain.
But, visit those memories time and again.

Wrap yourself in blanket of comforting love.
Feel the flame loving and watching high from above.

Flames flicker and always go out.
But all reunite with joyful shouts.

Together once. Together again.
The cycle of life has no end.

Cling to and cherish, let sweet memories thrive.
Because a flame has gone out, doesn’t mean it isn’t alive.

The light lives within us, it resonates there.
Feel love and comfort, but never despair.

The flame may be gone, it may not seem fair.
But someday it will meet you in a place called “up there”.
