The thunder murmurs
And rattles
Like a tattered kite,
It echoes

A Burning Candle
Tell heaven
To give this letter
To my father...
Tell heaven
To show him
The burning candle that
I have in my hands.
Tell heaven
To remind him of my love...
Tell heaven
To remind him that I am here...
Tell him that I remember him
Today and forever...
