I Knew She Was A Candle

The first lesson of a candle is how it loses nothing when it shares it's light In fact…when used to light another candle it then burns twice as bright. I knew she was a candle from the day I met her… always willing to share her light…to help in any way. She possessed the power of a candle the ability to brighten up a day. The second lesson of a candle be it day or be it night within the beauty of its flame is the resilience of its light. I knew she was a candle because the more she burned down the more light she seemed to gain… and even when she stopped burning… her candle light remained. I do not know the exact day her flame burned out by that time she had long ago moved away… but I do know the flame she shared with me still lights my heart today. I knew she was a candle the day I met her… I could see the light within her eyes… What I didn't know is once she shared her light with me Her light would never die.
