Life is like a Candle

Life is like a candle,

We’re all born with an unlit wick.

We need to find what fuel will light it,

And on what surface we’re to stick.

We were all created to shine bright,

To light a path into this world.

We must keep our candle burning,

And not allow our wick to be pulled.

There are many ways to fuel our wick,

Or to ignite its burning flame.

But beware of the many winds of fear,

And do your best to avoid its aim.

Use your light to see your path,

Clearly and with truth.

Use your flame to lighten your load,

And to realise your worth.

Ensure your wick stays firm and upright,

Don’t waste away your years of wax.

Keep flickering away all your doubts,

As its calming light helps you relax.

Don’t burn your candle at both ends,

Be sure to use it wisely.

For when you reach your wick’s bottom,

Your light will shine less brightly.

God knows what length our candle is,

He sets the speed it will melt.

He puts in us a special fragrance,

And determines the warmth to be felt.

So keep your candle burning,

Shine your light wherever your go.

Don’t allow anything to kill your flame,

Bask in the light of your glorious glow.
