CANDLE IN THE WIND


Candle In The Wind

It seems to me you lived your life 
Like a candle in the wind without a fight, 
For God's sake hold up your head, You are not dead, 

Hold your words, and let Love in, 
Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in, 
Your mind is like the candle in the wind, 

letting go of hate and sin 
I would have liked to have known you 
But I was just a kid back then, 
Your candle burned out long before, 

With the gray in your hair, 
tells the arts man where you've been, 
Like the candle in the wind, 

The sun went, and now it came, 
Just like the night with many dreams, 
O how feeble is a man with out power to clam, 

Let not the fire burnout that is in your heart 
Love is a gift you never want to miss, 
Love is like that candle in the wind, 
It will burnout if the fire don't stay lite.

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the80's, 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery / Judy Emery
