Candle Glow

A candle needs a strong match to make the wick burn
Some flames are not long to live, needing another match to give it life again
The flame can burn hot and strong giving a great lovely light
Or it can flicker and die with no chance to achieve its brightness
All the more reason to have more matches handy to make sure the candle light is strong
One does not want to see a weak light
Once firmly lit the candle will flame to its end
Oh to enjoy the glow!

We all need a glow sometimes. How to get the glow can be complicated. Hence the need of more matches LOL Thanks for reading. Hugs Edith
