Snow falling on a candle
Suffocating the flame
Roses placed gently down
By a family, losing hope again
Tears falling, flowing free
From strangers eyes
But not from me
I can see their pain
But I'm so far removed
I feel out of place
Am I being rude?
These people I'm related to
But never met before
Is it right to feel for them?
I don't know that for sure
Does anyone really know who I am?
I'm my Dad's daughter
But that's all they know
"Some girl named Daniela
Just here for the show"
Why should I feel for them?
I'm too sensitive
That I know
Cause I can see there's...
Snow falling on a candle
Suffocating the flame
Roses placed gently down
By a family, losing hope again

Wow Daniela, this was deeply
touching and beautifully scribed.
It truly made me FEEL, as I
myself have felt this way before.
I can very much relate.
Your words speak volumes.
Loved the concept of
"snow falling on a candle"
--that was so clever
Such a treasure to read
