A candle teaches me
Life’s valuable lesson
As a candle
When lit
dispels darkness
So I, by my presence
I need to spread
Love, joy, and happiness
Wherever I go
A candle teaches me
Life’s valuable lesson
As when a candle
shares its light with another candle
It doesn’t lose its light
So I need to share
my talents with others
It’s not mine to keep
But God’s gift to be given
A candle teaches me
Life’s valuable lesson
As a candle
burns down completely
Losing its identity
And what remains of it, is wax
So I must give myself
Selflessly to others in need
Without expecting anything in return
As one day even my life
will come to an end
People will then remember me
For my good deeds
As in their hearts
I will always live.
