The Candle Glow--By Patricia Ann Farnsworth-Simpson--Canary Islands

The Candle Glow
(Candlelight)

See the candle glow
For all those we know
That has life above
Prayer is from love
Blessed then are they
Gone on way
To be
Safely
With God
Where
Joy
Does
Run
Deep
And
Yet
Flows very fast while it's still

Patricia Ann Farnsworth-Simpson is a coal miner’s daughter, the only girl among 6 lads.
A young mother to a son, she became a widow before she turned 18.  Patricia, then, married her childhood sweetheart who fathered her lovely son and two wonderful daughters.  Her children encouraged her to pursue her own talents.  After 51 years of marriage, she became a widow again recently.  She fills her time with poetry, helping others whenever she can.

  2. An awesome poem, Pat. I love the style and format, as well as the message and meaning. "...Joy does run deep and yet flows very fast while it's still" creates a new taste of creativity in my mind. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing and continued blessings, my friend!
