candles


Life is like a burning candle

soon we will burn away

slowly but surely 

we are not here to stay

we were made to be a light and warmth

but not to last forever

just because we a fading 

doesnt mean we cannot burn hot

make a diffrence in the world

small but so significant

if we can change the life of one person

have we not done our job?

life is like a candle 

burning burning burning
