The Swan Song of John Norman Howard
 
Esther was the candle that lit the life

of he who was a very dark charismatic

As John Raced away into Eternity,

He Knew Esther Would Fly or Fall.

He was hoping she would fly.

For She gave him wings as well.

and she, the widow Howard, despokdent at the death of Johnny

was sore vexed, as so oft is the sudden widoed wife.

yet truly

its better to light a candle than curse the darkness


and here is the lighting of the candle after the cursing of the darkness
