The Candle

Tallow wax in slender

Rare corpulent in shapes

Peppy she a burning bright

The way of spreading light

Her moments are in delight

Never knew the plight

Grief no for the life span

Brief than an hour;

Her fleeting existence

Is no one’s concern

Since, she melts to cast the shadow,

To show her celestial beauty

Before she dies without sorrow
