a candle is in comparison to a man's life. when the light goes out so be the man.
Sandra, I have known many people like that and sorrow fills my heart and tears well up in my eyes when I remember them. Thank You for reminding me of their passing and how much I miss them. Jim
Sandra. The world needs more good people like such a man. What a difference it would make. Thanks. 10
Totally agree with Indira's comments, a wonderful tribute to a fine human being...
good deeds are never forgotten, a good man will always be remembered...
A lovely tribute for a man who did only good, who has now passed on. A candles flame being extinguished, a bright light that is no more. Thank you
a candle is sometimes compared to man's life..it melts but it gives light..
This man's candle is irreplacable. But his memory casts a lovely glow over the lives he has touched. Beautiful write.10/10 Love, Sandra
Perhaps the heaven too wants the godly people up there................Now this wonderful earthly candle might be lightining the high heavens................a good tribute to the rare soul........
a wonderful metaphor and tributary write...a good poem to ponder...10
A very fine tribute to a man you knew so well to have faced challenges and went on to be a very kind and loving person to his family and others around him. Wonderful poem.
This is a very beautiful tribute poem, Sandra, and there are many deeply touching lines in it. Your words have captured the essence of that man about as wonderfully as is possible and your idea of comparing that person with Elton John's great song, 'Candle in the Wind, ' was a marvellous one! Carl.
It may have dimmed But only to brighten again He lighted up the lives ......................... beautiful lines..inspiring verses..You lifted me up again today with your kind words. I will always treasure you here in my heart forever.
Great words to remember someone nice, who's missing now. There's too many gone missing..
A lovely tribute, Sandra, to one who was a light to those around him.
A wonderful inspirational poem Sandra. A Candle In The Wind is a superb song and your title goes so well with your kind thoughts for this kind and loving man. 10 love Karin
A touching piece Sandra. Kudos to that good man, and all such unknown great who serve others and pass on silently. (Please take a look at my old poem 'My Heroes' which is similar to this one)
