My Love is a Candle Maker
TommyD 1957 (Ft. Lee)
My Love is a Candle Maker
You are the ignitable wick , embedded in Life
That brings light to my world , removing the strife
The essence I breath , from the fragrance within
Instills in my heart , the belief you begin
You are the Chandler , the maker , the creator for me
As I dance through this world , so loving carefree
The aroma I breath , and the air that I find
Is living creation , that God has designed
You are the candelabra , the exquisite chandelier
You're holding my heart , like a treasure so dear
The wax from my soul , is melted and burned
That for so many years , I have longed for and yearned ...
That you would soon find me , and color my world
With luminous joy , as this planet is twirled
And as my wick smolders , and soon comes to not
The love that you've shown me , will not be forgot
Through grief , courage , memories , and love
As I go to my Savior , with thanks from above …
That my life was a candle , not being the same
And that your guiding light , was consumed in my flame
