The flickering flame of life
Filled with anguish and strife
Trying to stay alight
Though wind rolls into fright
Our lives experience many
Days of happiness plenty
Working hard to establish
Family life of bliss
As the flames die down
True friends huddle around
Your life was not in vain
A circle of true friends remains
Pull courage from deep inside
Don’t be afraid, don’t run and hide
As thousands of seconds fly by
Don’t waste them with echoes or sighs
Take a picture in your mind
Of all the memories you can find
When the flame goes out
I can say without a doubt
It brought joy and some tears
Many happy memories for the coming years
