Four candles slowly burned.
The ambiance was so soft, one could almost hear them talking…
“The world is full of anger and fighting. Nobody can keep me lit.”
“I am no longer indispensable. It doesn’t make sense that I stay lit another moment.”
“People don’t understand my importance so they simply put me aside. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.”
Suddenly… a child entered the room and saw the three unlit candles. “Why aren’t you burning? You’re supposed to stay lit till the end.”
“While I am still burning we can re-light the other candles.”
With shining eyes the child took the candle of hope and lit the other candles.
… but the flame of Hope should never go out of your life!
