The Candle Poem by Clifford Villaflores

I see a candle burning
It glows, its light is shining
It illuminates the room
It takes away darkness' gloom.

I see a candle burning
Its spark fills a dim place
It is warm, I feel its heat
My eyes I gaze as I sit.

Flickering on a gloomy day
Kindling...Shining...burning hay
We are the candle of life
Flickering amidst the strife.


I see a candle burning
I began to ponder
If the light stops glowing
Would one stop hoping?

Can a candle light up forever?
If the flicker of light dims,
Can a soul remember,
The good, the laughter and whims?

I see a candle burning
I hope you see it too
For it shines in me and you
I see a candle burning
A light not colored blue.
