Tomorrow brings another day

Lightning crashes as the rain blows,
shadows appear from nowhere.
To dance like ghosts.
You awake to the cries of a child,
to light a candle and go see.
Everyone's sleeping,
and you smile down upon thee.
Smoke from the candle rises up to follow,
slowly behind.
Lightning crashes,
the wind howls loud,
temporarily you are blind.
Candle light flickers,
streams of flowing wax.
As you lay your head to rest, you just know.
Happy to see the candle lit your way,
tommorrow brings another day.
