ACKNOWLEDGE I would be a fool to compare Your presence to that Of a candle burning valiantly in a dark room, Acting as a guide as some would say. For you would eventually burn out, Leaving me alone with no sense of direction. You are closer to a star On an unpolluted night, Your light making its way to me No matter the distance. And even though you are Hidden at times, Knowing you are always there Brings me a sense of relief.
