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."
Its flame reapidly diminishes and goes out completely.
The second one says:
"I am Faith! Most of all, I am no longer indispensable,so it does'nt make any sense hat i stay lit any longer."
When it finished talking , a breeze softly blew on it putting it out
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"
And waiting no longer it foes 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 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 eys, the child took the candle of hope and lit the other candles.
The flame of hope should never go out from your life
.......and that each of us can maintain Hope,Faith,Peace and Love!!!!!!!!!
