Through the candle’s flicker, you may see

A little peer into what could be

Shadows are erased and brightness shows

Newness appears while memories glow

The flame burns without remorse

And with each ember, you chart a course

Into the fire, do not fear

Because out of the ashes, you’ll shed no tears

Renewal is handy at this stage

Where love and heart, turn a page

To what you may not already know

Of who you are and where you’ll go
