Trying to keep my flame
But it’s hard where you placed me, in a house
With many drafts
Flicker, flicker while I sway from side to side
Casting shadows of my flame dancing on the walls
Surrounded in darkness
My flame dancing from a gust of wind
On a ledge I sit
On top of a fire place mantel
To bring light inside a room
But in the corners where the darkness dwells
Eyes are watching my flame being tossed, to and fro
From a relentless wind
I am trying to keep my flame
In a place where I’m not wanted
Above the darkness I stare down
From a fire place mantel
Flickering and swaying to and fro
Hoping not to go out
Jeremiah 29: 11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
God said all things would work together for good to all who love Him and are called according to his name. so. just stick to loving him and only all would work together for you! !
