Light Yourself a Candle

If you light yourself a candle
A story to you it will tell
A story old - not ever new
A story you know well

The flame will waiver gently
Soaring high or drifting low
Its movement starts to vary
As the air beings to flow

Upward reaches out the flame
Depicting the highs in your life
Ebbing every now and again
Depicting occasional strife

The candle flames your yesterdays
Reminisce what you've been delt
Memories there to live again
As you watch that candle melt

For those times you feel unhappy
For the times you heave a sigh
Sit down and light that candle
Reminisce when the flame is high

Ever take the time to wish
To hope - fulfill a dream
To try and catch that rainbow
As impossible as it may seem

You gotta dream a little
To keep your hopes alive
If all you want is status-quo
Your dreams will not survive

So wish and keep on dreaming
Who knows what it will do
You may fulfill what's in your heart
Your dreams may well come true
