Candle

It’s hard sometimes to light a candle
The wind might be too mean and strong
Or the wick too wet from silent tears
I know every spark was made so delicately
A fragment of your heart sacrificed
But trust me when I tell you those countless tries
Will all be worth it in the end
For when the flame finally awakens
The delicate glow and the sweet aroma
Will be enough to illuminate
The growing darkness inside of you
So do not fret my friend your time is near
And until you’re ready I’ll be your candle
Flickering beside you to offer some light
