One lumen
The light of a candle
It can be seen they say
For many miles
Candles burn tonight
One for each lost angel
Light that will been seen over many years
Still bright in our minds
A million candles
A fiery sun of bittersweet memories
The burning potential
Of lives that never were

    I just wanted to let you know…
    I’m nominating you for a Liebster Award! I received one earlier this evening and I just knew I would pass it on to you. Your blog is amazing and I love following it. This is a “no strings attached” sort of thing. You don’t have to accept, but I thought I’d do this as a small token to let you know that you’re definitely appreciated. Keep up the good work!
