Candle Light

I have lit the candle

In the dark,

Slowly does it dwindle;

It might soon,

Be finally blown

But might even rekindle.

If it glows, I shall be

One of those lucky few

The ones who are chased by fortune,

Whenever they start anew!

And if it blows out, in the dark,

Then I shall always strive,

Traversing the unknown, all alone,

To fight, to win, to thrive!

Such is the candle of hope,

With the flame so vulnerable,

Filled with uncertainties----

It's never dependable.

But I must say, there's no harm,

To fill a heart with hope,

Only if you can expect the worst

With tenacity to cope!
