For Kenneth H Weller (deceased 9/12/04) and Marthabelle Weller (dec 12/17/04)
two lights were slowly fading
shadowed by this world
flames so closely burning
they sustained each other as one
from one candle the wicks were spent
one candle of many lights
and when the breath of the Spirit rent
each flickered as in a tremor
now in our eyes these lights are gone
their warmth grows lamely cold
a whisp a smoke to rest upon
and a memory just as feathered
but our eyes deceive what our hearts believe
the lights are not smothered yet
the fuel of heaven these flames receive
burning brighter than ever
