Candles
by sascha

It is not easy to remember dead children.

But, easy or not,
we know that we will not -
and do not want to -
forget them.

Therefore we reach out together again,
to love them and to celebrate their memory.

Again, we light their special candles
and we say their beloved names.

We remember our children, who died.
They remain forever part of us, and we are richer for having shared their lives,
however briefly.
