If I light this candle in this cathedrals
If I light this candle in this cathedralsfor you and me
Will you talk to God on my behalf
And visit regularly?
If I light this candle as a symbol
of our goodbye
Will your promise to show up in spirit
Before my last cry?
If I light this candle after I see you
one last time
Can you be my guardian angel when the
hills are hard to climb?
If I light this candle will your promise to help me through
The grief and pain of losing the friend I found in you?
Grief and sadness are both difficult to bear and we thank you for the tremendous courage you have to share a part of this pain with us through your poetry. We hope writing aids in your process of healing, this was a beautiful poem.
