Eternal Candle

dedicated to Heidi, from Wystful

Like a candle, you give up some of yourself
to brighten and warm others
Your eternal light is a symbol
of your inner and outer beauty
While you seem to stand tall and strong
you feel like you are tapering, don't you?
But don't let the winds extinguish what you show
They are only jealous
because they have not the substance that you have
It is out of your love and kindness that
others return to you
What fuels the fire that burns and radiates from you,
the warmth that comforts and protects from the darkness?
it is the soul of a friend, a mother, a healer
an embodiment of strength and love
may it ever shine bright for all to see
and may the wick never burn out
