Sacrifice
Like a candle and a match One is ignited to give light to the other The match burned for the moment To allow the candle to burn brighter The beautiful flow of the candle Gives light, gives warmth Signifies hope, love and life Burning itself that others might rejoice Eventually the candle burns itself out Its fire glowing brightest Before finally fading As the fire goes out, it dies The match watches in agony Yet nothing can be done The match has given its only fire It cannot light another The candle is now but wax But the hope, life and love it’s given Does not go forgotten Yes it…
