POEM 10: THE CANDLE










The tiny little candle
Shines out in the dark,
Leading the lost through the night
With its small yellow spark.

So too must we, tho’ small
Help others along the way,
Always there to heed their call,
And beside them stay.

Till the end the candle burns
Itself out, with no gripe.
Sincerely lighting the path
With absolutely no hype.

Let us like the candle
Be a light in the dark
Lighted to guide others
Let this be our hallmark.
