The Candles of Life

Candles come in many colors Shapes and sizes too You search to pick a candle For the light it provides for you. Our lives are much like candles Some tall some short some round We know not how long our flame will burn Or be quenched without a sound. Is your candle burning bright today? Or does it flicker with the wind Does the sweet scent of kindness flow Or is hatred and jealousy within Is it burning with a glowing flame, or weak and close to the end? Do you shine for all who come your way with the glow of love for them? Oh stand tall and let the world see That flame you hold inside Carry your love as a guiding light Let peace in your soul abide Your candle of life touches many souls Your words guide many paths With the gift of love you light the way For those who carry wrath No matter what the winds of life bring Let your flame burn strong and bright For if our hearts hold true loves light the world and love unite!
