When the Light Goes Out

When The Light Goes Out
By Joeysguy    
         
Lighting a candle helps me to see more
I see things I didn’t see before  

Just little things that I couldn’t see
Some now have meaning to me

In the stillness of air, why does the flame flicker
It moves from side to side and looks bigger

I can feel the warmth of the candle and see it glow
As the wax melts the flame would grow

When day ends and night falls
The candles shadow is on the walls

I light the candles for my wife
Another way of honoring our life

My wife’s pictures would shimmer and shine  
In my mind to me she is still mine

The candle flames can be very bright
To me the flame dances when I look at the light

That dancing light is what I see    
I want to think that it’s dancing for me

I will be with my wife, I have no doubt
One day when the light goes out
