In Memory with Love--Beth Winchcombe--October 2, 2015--England

The Candle Has Gone Out

Another day,

Another night,

Will it be dark?

Will it be bright?

Love the day,

Love the night,

Enjoy each day,

Enjoy each night,

For life is like a candle

That one day will burn out,

It does not burn forever,

One day it will go out.

Dear Whispers Family,

It is a pleasure to share another poem in tribute to Beth. Sadly, we said good-bye to her in October 2015.  Beth embraced the Whispers community, supporting and caring about others with her kind heart.  She was a blessing in my life.  Beth shared her gift of words for monthly activities, collaborative poems, individual poems, and uplifting comments for other writers. She was our September 2015 Poet of the Month, an honor she richly deserved. She touched my heart. Thank you, to her husband, Geoff, and Jack Horne for allowing me the honor of publishing this poem.
