May 19th................Wow time flies.

Well i cant believe that its been 3 years since my dear old dad passed away.  There doesnt go a day when i dont want to pick up the phone and have a good talk with him about......well anything really, from football to politcs.  We had some good times and shared a lot of laughs.  We kind of lost touch for a while but i am thankful to say we sorted things out and became father and son once more.  I miss you dad and have written this for people to remember their loved ones and always keep that candle burning............


Candle

They say that when we are born a candle starts to glow
and it flickers bright both day and night for all our life
and some say it lives while we live and then fades when we pass
that the glow vanishes and is replaced by another life
i dont belive that the flame ever dies as long as it is remembered
by those whose lives were brightened by that flame
by those whose lives were changed by that flame
and those whose own light was created by that flame
I believe that the flame glows as long as it is carried
in the hearts, in the heads and in the memories
a candle can burn forever if we want it to
