The Candle

by

Anne Strausser

Life's like a candle.
To be burned in all it's glory.
But to get a strong impact that you can handle.
The light shines forth as a sign and won't resign to personal scandal.
As the candle's wax melts away,
so be the hours of your life.
If only to live by the flickering light.
You'll have clear sight,
But burning the candle at both ends.
Is burning away where the darkness holds bright.
Light the candle, but not just for the darkness ofnight.
Let the flame burn,
Let the flame burn.
Maybe the hours of your life will earn a stay.
