I sit and look at the candle

I see the flames burning

So high

So intense

So hot

I see the passion

Of tomorrow

Of today

Of the past

I see the hurt

And all the pain

I see the joy and laughter

Of a time gone by

A time of yesterday

With all the dreams of tomorrow

Tucked away

I see a forgotten time

I see many things

I remember many things

But I can not see you

Where are you papa

Where are you
