The Selfless candle

 The Selfless candle


A little white candle
With bright yellow flame
Lit up the alley.
And washed away its darkness.
 
The candle lived
Not forever but only for a while
Lightened the world till
It burnt itself into oblivion.
 
Light a thousand candles
Make the world a brighter place.
For a few hours, the candle lives
It lives to wipe off darkness.
 
The candle that lived with pomp
Burnt out and died unsung
That doesn’t matter
For it lived to remove darkness.
 
Be like a candle
Impart goodness till one’s life ceases.
Worry not on how long one lives.
It’s the life like a candle that matters.
