HOW CAN I BE A BETTER CANDLE?

I am the candle, I hold the flame

Thine heart feels dark, you say you hold shame

I'll light the wick through soft, gentle smiles

And waxy drop tears will echo our trials

When you are in dark,  I'll shine the way

When you're overworked, I'll bring you play

The light that it gives, it shines heart to heart

When passed onto you, it's just a mere start

The glow it shall then reside brightly in you

Until you search the world, find a heart that's dark, too

To be the best candle, the light has to see

That it cannot stop here, it goes further than me

The light it must move, and its warmth it must share

And find its own way through the travel of prayer

For when the light moves, it can then become two

I've now made it grow, passed the torch here to you

Then you will find shadows, bright ways for your friend

The wick that lives on never fades nor will end

For released from the neck of a single wick donned

You'll find that it spreads, lights a thousand such wands

From my wick to yours and then from your wick to theirs

We all become part of the world's candle heirs.
