Raising A Candle

      

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

Dr. Stewart Bitkoff   From time to time I have to remember Why I came here. So often, the passing days Cause me to forget. You see, I hold in my hand A candle, with a brilliant flame, To fight the growing darkness.   Yet when aglow I raise my candle high So others might see, And the Light blinds them. They run away, holding their eyes, Shaking their head, confused.   So what am I to do?   Still, I raise my candle Waiting for the weary traveler Who needs a Light To find their Way. Then, as indicated, I touch my candle to theirs And together we travel Illuminating the dark night. -SB     https://www.stewartbitkoff.com
