It is clear that you were candles in the wind.
You gave lights to those around you,
And you gave warmth to those closest to you.
You cared not who you provided for,
Only that you parted ways for the better.
But the wind came.
It came in unpredictable waves,
And it was beyond control.
You had shelter.
You had protection.
You had support.
But the wind came.
It snuffed out
your warmth,
your lights.
The wind came.
It did not conquer.
Your lights continue.
Your warmth goes on.
We pass them to each other,
And we remember the gifts you gave.
You were candles in the wind.
And the wind came,
but it did not conquer.
