Kesav Venkat Easwaran - O, Candle!

2014-11-08 1

O, Candle,
On lighting up you burn out
In your own heat you melt;
In goodness, away give life
To those in need bring light;
Until your willing wick
Holds out inside alive...

The good teacher, out you preach
Silent message of life...

Day in day out you alike,
We too burn out in life;
Warmth to give our kith and kin,
We emit heat and light;
Till the end of wick inside,
Spread brightness in their strides,
Offer help to get lighted,
Renew a burning life...
