The love that a mother has for her daughter, as she watches her daughter's struggles to reach her just rewards.

"My Candlelight of Love"

Just like a candlelight you have brightened,
My life, because you have made me so very proud.

Your struggles have been many but like a,
Candlelight, you have found light to brighten,
Each darkened pathway with light.

So with this candle, I offer you light.
A light so eternal, a light so bright.
A light to light when life brings sadness,
To darken your life.

Light this candle because deep inside the light,
You'll remember your Mother's smile. You'll
Remember my love, my hugs, and my words
Of encouragement.

So, my candlelight of love I offer to you.
It will always be there to lift your spirits,
And brighten your smiles.

For each time you look into a candlight,
I want you to remember the love my heart,
Will always hold for you.

This is about a love that is timeless and that you take with you (both of you) in your hearts forever. This part particularly moved me: "So with this candle, I offer you light.
A light so eternal, a light so bright.
A light to light when life brings sadness,
To darken your life."
Very eloquent and beautiful. An inspiring poem straight from the heart. Thank you so much for sharing this here.
