One Flame


I am but one candle in this world.
My flame is only a small one,
but it burns brightly.

My flame appears brighter
when it is mirrored by my good works
however, it can be much more than that.

My flame is small but powerful.
Though my time to burn may be limited
I can bring light to many candles just from a touch.

My flame will never die.
For I have shared it with many that had no flame
and they have shared it with others.

We are each only one small candle in this world.
We are only given one small flame
and yet we are given the ability to light thousands of others.

Share the flame..
