I have a wax heart.
It breaks when it's cold.
It feels firm until cut thin.
And when hot, it runs right to your hand.

If you lit the wick,
the my light could fill a room like a parable retold,
and you could see the smile on my face.

It is a better thing than a mere candle on a shelf.

three sons filling their father's room, the last with one candle filling it with light. I can't give you the book or verse.
But really, I only like thw first part of it. Thank you for reading and commenting.

Tender.  I liked the "parable retold" phrase, and wonder what parable it would be.
