A Burning Candle Poem by Olaitan Maryam

A Burning Candle

Rating: 5.0


Tell heaven
To give this letter
To my father...

Tell heaven
To show him
The burning candle that
I have in my hands.
Tell heaven
To remind him of my love...

Tell heaven
To remind him that I am here...

Tell him that I remember him
Today and forever...

Simplicity is what I love; not only in poetry.
