ETERNAL LIGHT

36 7 4
                                    

A candle was burning

brightly in the dark

it was shining for miles all alone.

The candle knew its fate

that death would sson be mate,

but before spread light in other's life

and helped them find their way.

The candle knew

when it will die

there will be darkness

for sometime.

But some other candle

will soon take its place.

Yet it never complained

though it moaned and wailed,

not cuz it was dying

but because when it would die

there will be darkness for sometime

the people will be lost in darkness for a while.

And while its alive

it can't replace itself

with another candle

so that there will

"Eternal Light".
