Someday I shall be a candle

Yahrzeit
By Richard A. Rosen

Someday I shall be a candle
Burning only for a day,
Illuminating only a memory.
For a while the flame will be stout and strong,
But then it will flicker, as it nears its end.
And in the end, when a candle is lit for my last child,
My flame will go out forever.
