a candle

Sit down and light a candle,

Watch the flame,a story it will tell

Bring back the secrets

Of memories you know so well

The flame will waver up and down

Reaching high and drifting low

Its movement will vary slowly

As the air begins gently to flow

When the flame moves upwards

It depicts the highs in our life

Then flickering low once again

Tells of occasional strife

A lighted candle brings back memories

Of yesterday’s peace and joy we felt

Priceless memories live once again

As we watch the candle melt

Light a candle and watch it burn

And reminisce as old memories return

Give thanks to Allah for gift above
