Candle light

In the darkness that consumes,
and loss of control always looms.
Though now there's a glimmer of hope,
it helps me focus, it helps me cope.
This new hope is a faint light,
that helps me fend off my lonely plight.
This light is like a candle's faint glow,
that over time I hope will grow.
This faint glow takes away my sorrow
and brings me hope for a better tomorrow.

-V.G.
