Flickering Flames

Oh, flickering flames that dance and sway,
Your gentle light illuminates my way,
A warm embrace that soothes my soul,
And eases the pain that takes its toll.

With each flicker and each gentle glow,
My heart begins to overflow,
With hope and love and tender care,
And all the things that make life fair.

You remind me of those I've lost,
Of those I love at any cost,
And in your light, I find relief,
And in my heart, a sense of peace.

Oh, flickering flames, you are the light,
That guides me through the darkest night,
And with each gentle flicker and sway,
You lead me to a brighter day.

So here's to you, dear candle light,
Your emotional power, pure and bright,
May your gentle glow forever be,
A source of hope and love for me
