O flaming candle!
The way you spend the night
The way the night weighs on you
Sacrificing yourself for others
I have spent my whole life.
Burning in love when young
Giving my heart away for love
Raising my young children
Toiling away for family, friends
And now burning in anger when
Every body around me says -
I am too old, too old fashioned
What do I know the ways of the world
and they shun me!

Night gives essence of sacrifice because light is needed very much. Giving heart young mind burns in love. Time turns and old age comes. An amazing poem is brilliantly penned....10
