Four Candles



There were four Candles.
The four candles burn slowly.
The ambiance was so soft you could hear them talking.
The first one said "I AM PEACE! However, nobody can keep me lit. I believe I will go out."
The second one says "I AM FAITH! Most of all, I am no longer indispensable, so it doesn't make any sense that I say lit any longer."
Sadly, The Third Candle spoke in its turn "I AM LOVE! I haven't got the strength to stay lit. People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.
Slowly the three candles goes out.
Suddenly...
A child enters the room and sees three candles not burning.
"Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit till the end."
Saying this, the child begins beings to cry.
Then the fourth candle said "Don't be afraid, while I am still burning we can re-light the other candles, I am HOPE!"
With shining eyes, the child took the candle of hope and lit the other candles.
The flame of Hope should never go out from you life.
And that each of us can maintain Hope, Faith, Peace and Love!!!
