More Than Winning

Life is so much to yourself
Like running a race to a crowd
If you can't win, help others to win
Even if it means slowing down
Or changing your own race
Perhaps we can change our heart
Perhaps someone else's hearts too
A candle loses nothing
If another candles is lights up
From its flame.
