Anne Frank Candlelight Flame

Candles burning against the cold
 

A flicker of candlelight, a story told 

Anne Frank's diary, a candlelight gleam 

Candlelight flames, illuminating a hopeful dream

Confined within darkness, a hidden space

Anne Frank, her diary penned with youthful grace 

With her diary and pen, and ink so near 

She poured her heart on the page, dispelling fear  

Each page, marked with time and age

Candlelight dancing on the page 

Candlelight reflection of birthdays and childhood youth 

A candle flame, a fragile spark 

Against the night, a burning mark

Candles burning with hate, persecution, and pain 

A burning truth that burns in the candle flames 

Candles extinguished, darkness crept

Candles burning bright 

Anne Frank's memory, etched in candlelight 

Within those flames, a spark of courage and inspiration 

Anne Frank's diary, her words burn bright with the light of truth
