Three Candles

Three candles burning in the night

they each pertained to me

Each one had meaning for my life

a dream, or so it seemed

One was future burning bright

another was my past

The third one showed my present day

the moments moved so fast

I leaned to look into the past

my youth was on display

I can’t believe some things I did

thank God they’re  yesterday

The present seemed so real to me

I knew what I would see

The circumstances I controlled

I’ll chose what they will be

The third a mixture of the two

my visions not so clear

The past and present hand in hand

some outcomes brought much fear

I have a chance to change it all

by learning from my past

The present  still belongs to me

the die is not yet cast
