Candle In The Window Poem by Juan Olivarez

There's a candle in the window,
Shining with a loving light.
It's been sitting there for years now.
It really is a lovely sight.

A tiny candle in the window.
Burning with a light so rare.
Where the cold wind doesn't blow,
A loving sign that someone cares.

A tiny flame, that burns inside,
The window of that tiny shack.
Like the flame that in the heart resides,
Wishing someone would come back.

It will burn till two soul mates,
Are reunited once again.
And overcome the cruel hand of fate,
And joy replaces all the pain.
