Protect the Candle Flame
PROTECT THE CANDLE FLAME
In life take care of yourself first
because you come in this world once.
To complete duties to the last
you need to give your life full chance.
If your main mission is to serve,
in life take care of yourself first,
for you can’t care for those you love
if your shadow of shield doesn’t last.
Help the people in need, you must,
but self-help you also deserve.
In life take care of yourself first,
you have a divine soul to serve.
Light up dark depths of marooned minds
saving your candle from storm burst.
Protect the flame from surging wind,
in life take care of yourself first.
