This is a beautifully written work about growing apart. At this moment in my life I feel alone and friendless Despite what my friends tell me I know that the day we walk past eachother like strangers is near. This poem made me realise it's not so bad at all.

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. |
