A CANDLE'S LIFE

I am as soft as softness could be
yet I give you all warmth and heat.
I'm the beacon so that you may see,
for the weary traveller when I'm lit.

I feel pride in the way I live,
melting my heart bit by bit.
Thus, hope and light is what I give
and fade in darkness - a kingly treat.

Part of me gather at my feet
while the rest spiral in misty air.
I bow to my own self and greet
as I'm no more - keep me in your prayer.
