	Candle

I saw a candle flicker and die this day.
It had burnt, but a little while
And then the angel came 
gently taking that tiny life away.
So sad, to see a child go.
And I cryed for the life unlived.

I saw a candle burn itself out this day.
It burned to fast and when out in a pool of wax.
And the angel came
Sadly taking away that teenage life.
So useless to live so quick.
And I felt pity for that young life.

I saw a candle waxing and waneing this day.
Having burnt so slowly and brightly.
And the angel came
To take away a life that had lived.
To a better world filled with peace
And I rejoiced for the new beginning.

So sorry if I've been depressing lately, I need to get it out
some way and this seems the best.
