The Candle and the Lights

The candle light flickers on the window sill Like it's shivering against the winter chill Outside is dark but lights are on so far away What would I wonder the candle and lights say I'm sure the candle's best friend is a match Lights appear without the need of a safety hatch The candle and the lights are used worldwide Both are essential should you be inside Many years ago there wasn't any light A candle was lit during most of the night How things change from those days long ago The candle and lights are still giving a glow
