Follow the Path of the Candle

Follow the Path of the Candle

Follow the path of a candle’s flame
See how it dances and jiggles around
Watch it soften and steady
Watch it stop and glow
Watch it shed light with never a sound

Our life is much like a candle
We’re affected by things every day
The weather, the traffic
The stresses of life
We let them all get in the way

Like a candle we need to stand tall
Give out warmth and light everywhere
Simply start with a smile
and a few kind words
Just show the world that you care

Like the candle that jiggles and dances
Being happy is what life’s about
So be kind to a stranger
make time for your friends
As too soon it will all be snuffed out
