Hey everyone! Here's this week's update for the candle of love. Enjoy!

Every day they fought

They ignored everything their mother had taught

They pushed each other and scrapped their knees

They taunted each other as they raced up trees

The adults would say to them "We've had enough!"

As they watched them try to prove to each other they were more tough

They'd instigate and try to mess up each other's work

They'd glare at each other way say the other was a jerk

They pulled each other down the social ladder

They denied all reasons that the other even mattered

Then one Christmas there was a change of heart

I remember it was in a family room in the dark

My uncle gave my father a strange thing

A small brown package tied up with string

It wasn't a card game like I had come to expect

It was actually something that deserved much more respect

For it was a picture from when they were boys

On Christmas day playing with toys

My father threw his arms around his little brother

Everyone was shocked especially my mother

She had told me before all my uncle and Dad ever did was fight

But this year it changed because Jesus had made it right

Now as we left they exchanged nothing but love

And tears welled in their eyes as they put on their gloves

Well, I hope you all enjoyed! I'd ask questions, but I need to get to bed, so I won't be. I'll just put in extra on my final poem. Merry early Christmas! We only have seven days left until the big day!
