THE
FOUR
CANDLE'S
OF LIFE
The
Four
Candles
burned
slowly.
Their
ambiance
was
so soft
you
could
hear
them
speak.
The
first
candle
said,
"I
am PEACE,
but
these
days,
nobody
wants
to keep
me lit."
Then
Peace's
flame
slowly
diminishes
and
goes
out
completely.
The
second
candle
says,
"I
am FAITH,
but
these
days,
I am
no longer
indispensable."
Then
Faith's
flame
slowly
diminishes
and
goes
out
completely.
Sadly,
the
third
candle
spoke,
"I
am LOVE
and
I haven't
the
strength
to stay
lit
any
longer."
"People
put
me aside
and
don't
understand
my importance.
They
even
forget
to love
those
who
are
nearest
to them."And
waiting
no longer,
Love
goes
out
completely.
Suddenly
. .
. A
child
enters
the
room
and
sees
the
three
candles
no longer
burning.
The
child
begins
to cry,
"Why
are
you
not
burning?
You
are
supposed
to stay
lit
until
the
end."
Then
the
Fourth
Candle
spoke
gently
to the
little
boy,
"Don't
be afraid,
for
I Am
HOPE,
and
while
I still
burn,
we can
re-light
the
other
candles."
With
Shining
eyes
the
child
took
the
Candle
of Hope
and
lit
the
other
three
candles.
Never
let
the
Flame
of Hope
go out
of your
life.
With
HOPE,
no matter
how
bad
things
look
and
are,
PEACE,
FAITH
and
LOVE
can
Shine
Brightly
in our
lives.
Don't
let
these
candles
go out
in your
life,
And
remember,
as long
as you
have
Hope
burning,
you
can
always
relite
your
life!
