• Tall and thin

    In your golden saucer

    You seem so unaware

    Of life.

    Of the one who holds you.

    Of the one who lit you.

    Or of the one that will put you out.


    Your flame,

    Bright and orange

    Like a miniature sun,

    Dancing on s little string,

    Brought down to our world.


    Illuminating the darkness

    With

    A

    Stream of

    Light.

    Life.


    You are small.

    But you do a great deal.

    You brought light

    To the people

    Of the time of miracles.

    Of the beginning.

    Of the world before us.

    And you continue to do so.

    After all these years.


    Oh, little candle,

    You have done so much,

    You have changed this world

    From dark to light.

    Thank you.
