Live

Live as a candle
The more it burns the more it reduces

Live as perfume
When used it goes out to everyone to enjoy

Live as light
Once lit and hidden it struggles through cracks to shine

Live as nimbus cloud
It gathers rain and offers to all with no discrimination

Live as tears
In sorrow she comes out from comfort to show concern

Live as hope
Always smiling even when things are difficult
