Update 2010

I was thinking of someone very special in my life when I wrote this poem in 2007. This is excerpted from that poem. I thought someone else may find it useful as a send off when someone is attempting to do something new in their life, or fulfill a dream. Don't mind at all if you choose to use it, I only ask that you credit the author.
Thanks!
To the Best of You!





To The Best of You!

I am sending you a candle as a gift from my heart,
To remember each time the flame that you start,
It is sent with the love that never stops,
No matter if we are together or not.

This Love judges not, neither does it condemn,
Knows not to want and lives from within,
Deep in my heart where this love lives,
Is the image of you and your love that gives.

This love gives off hope and a healing light,
Much joy and remembrance for all things right,
Deep in my heart where this Love lives,
Is the image of you and your hopes that live.

This love is grateful for all challenges of life,
As the growth that is won in all such strife,
Brings us closer to the flame that lives within,
To the image of you and your truth at days’ end.

There is even a love that sees above and below,
And knows the bumpy road ahead, and where to sew,
Opportunity to grow closer to the flame of the Soul,
To the image of purpose, the mission of Soul.

Sometimes our love sees this deeper love of sight,
When for a moment we’ve stepped back, into the light,
Of the inner knowing, that ever burning flame,
That returns us to the light from where we came.

All of your roads have led to this one,
All of your tests have been passed and then some,
A new page is turning,-no a new book is beginning,
A new life, with new eyes and new hopes discerning.

Wherever you go, whatever you see,
Remember the flame that helps you to be,
True to your image, and true to your heart,
The flame that loved you, from the start.

This Flame is alive and will always go with you,
Will guide you and nourish you, and see you thru,
Will light every path, whether dark or light,
Will ground you and inspire you to do what is right.

In living your life you can already see,
The Flame of your heart is the best way to be,
This heart has a door that can easily open,
Fear not, for it opens, hearing heart-called to open.

May you live your life from the flame of your heart,
As you care for each being, each day from the start.

To the Best of you!
From the Flame of my Heart,
