You Carried The Torch Poem by Tina Baaklini

My love,

When life gives me a reason to sigh
I remember you, then smile
I care less about the price to pay
As long as with you forever I will stay

Life promised not to be easy
Faith, strength must be harnessed
Though battling with life is unworthy
May it be lived with dignity, more joy, less stress

By my side you've been always
Throwing away rocks from my ways
Sowing instead flowers, green grass
Fighting dark clouds on my gloomy days
Inviting upon my heart yellow sunrays

You never left me on my own
At the darkest hour at dawn
You carried the torch, held my hand
Your heart was my home, your soul my homeland
