Dear Candle You burn and burn but gently  give me light. Whether on hand or on land, you softly give me light. You guide me when its dark, like my teacher in the class. Whether it rains or it snows, you look like a  beautiful lass. You flicker sometimes but you try hard to stay, Whether we pray or we play, you always give your ray. You make light from dark skies above, Like my  mother's warmth and love. Lets all learn from you how to be a dove.
