Candle

In the dark, but yet I am the light But yet I still see Nothing Stiff and still I sit in this world surrounded By wax and I sit in the dark and Wait, Wait till their lights Have gone out, wait till The darkness surrounds them I wait for them to light My whisk And my stiff cold wax Begins to slowly meld Around me But just before the wax Around me melts away Their lights turn back on, The sun begins to rise, And my lights goes out so I continue to sit in My world surrounded by wax And I sit in the dark unable to See Even though I am the light The wax that surrounds me Stays stiff and cold So I wait, I wait till their lights go back out And the sun has set And once again They are surrounded By the darkness I live in I wait for them to light my wish And my wax to slowly melt away So that I may also see the Light That brightens their day.
