_____________________________________
She stood in the dark
Burying her fears within
And fought her own wars
Against the darkness closing in.
Spreading warmth on cold days,
She kept burning bright
And shone wherever she was placed
Be it happy days or gloomy nights.
She was using up her wax
But that didn't dim her light.
Her only aim was to hold the light out
And show others that the dark is alright.
The wind hated her spirit.
He kept trying to blow out her flame.
But she kept holding on to it
And calling on her Maker's Name.
Cause she knew she was being held
In the palms of His hands
And she knew nothing could harm her
Unless it was in His plan.
Towards the end of her life,
Her light started to flicker.
The wind laughed and asked her
"Now, are you going to bicker?"
Even when it hurt her,
She didn't speak a word
Until her flame died out completely
And she left this world.
You may think that's the end of her story
But no, that's not true.
She's gone to her Heavenly abode.
Look up, you'll see it's true.
She's now in a better place.
Yes, she's one of those stars in the sky.
She's run her race, she's finished her course.
Now, she's resting with a smile.
Even though she's gone,
Her legacy will still live on
And burn bright within our hearts
Inspiring us to go on
- Abigael David
