Lighting Your Way
by justageorgiaguy
If I was one thing, I'd be a candle
Lighting the way so you can handle
Your life easier without woes
Not having to fight with your foes.
I'd help keep you from stumbling over
Things blocking your path to an open door.
If I light your path, life is easier,
Even strong winds, my light will not deter.
No matter what, I'm here for you
To cheer you up when you are blue.
Do not fret when times get tough,
If things look down or kind of rough.
Just remember, I'm always here,
In your heart, close and near.
I will help you out in every way,
Happiness and love in your heart will stay.
Don't blow me out, that's one request
Unless it's me you do detest.
I do not try to hurt anyone
That isn't good or any fun.
But one day you may leave me behind
You may no longer need my light to shine.
If that day comes, go on your way
And I will hope to see you again one day.
If one day, I don't appear,
Do not worry, do not fear
I may be gone, but in your heart
The light I gave you did not depart.
It will be there forever and a day
To always bring happiness and light your way.
Farewell for now, I'm needed elsewhere
If your path grows dark, in your heart, I'm there.
So I'm really not gone, just not seen,
I would not leave, I'm not that mean.
Only one simple request that I must say,
Please, never forget those who lit your way.

Two or three years ago I was about to lose the company of a very old and dear friend. She was at that time going to emigrate to Australia. It was a time of great sadness for us,we were like brother and sister. I came upon this poem at that time and 'God' it hit all the right buttons! It said all,that I (in my clumsiness) could not say. I Emailed the author and asked his permision (which he graciously granted)to send it to her,she replied saying that it was exactly as she felt too. We are still in touch on a regular basis with it seems no loss of contact. With thanks to this wonderful work. Still FANTASTIC every time I read it.
