When the light dimmed

When the light dimmed
One fine day just like another day
Silence overtaking my thoughts

Under the Shadows of the dimmed lights Memories of the past running thru my Mind

A foggy reminder of my childhood
When laughter filled the Air during a cold Winter's night

A reminder that Mom is no longer
The Candle in the Corner now just a flicker

The Light will run out soon
Just like life has no guarantee

We all must leave oneday for the heavenly abode
For life is temporary
