POEM "Flame Unextinguished"


Flame Unextinguished

By Richard H. Fay

Times this life's struggles 
Have become too much,
Thoughts of ending it  
Rattled through my head,
But this stubborn soul 
Refused to give in.

Times grief has found me
Desirous of death,
Days woes have troubled
This worried spirit,
My flickering flame 
Refused to go out.

Times I felt great weight
Bear down upon me,
A flood of ill will
Wash right over me,
My vital spark stayed
Ardently agleam.
