A Strong Flame flickers 
In the distance
Moving toward you
When it is time to shine,
Shine.
When the time has come
To dim your lights, be silent, 
Speak with your eyes and heart.
Watch the new amber radiate in the midst.
Flickering flames are approaching; 
Some have come to refuel you. 
Prepare to welcome their glowing energy. 
Receive them well. 
When the givers of the new light
Come to embrace you,let them !
Remember: For all things, there is a season.
"You cannot forever be the giver", 
become humble, as a gracious 
receiver is also blessed.
Let them give, for it is written. 
"It is more blessed to give, than to receive". 
What is hidden in the passage is. 
"Not allowing a person to give, 
because of your pride, 
is also cheating them out of their blessing”.
“Let them who hold the strong flames,
now restore you,".
And be grateful.!
