My dad was a wonderful writer. This poem hung in our family kitchen for many years as a reminder to live our lives to the fullest.

Poem (No Title)
by Robert “Bob” Renshaw
June 1932 – August 2011
Look back not with shame nor forward with fear,
For Your Candle is Burning.
Live not falsely nor with cowardice.
For Your Candle is Burning.
Love not half heartedly nor with untruth,
For Your Candle is Burning.
Let it shed its light within and upon those around you.
It does not burn forever but is only a wink in the eye of time.
Your Candle is Burning.
