               CANDLES
          By ... Steve Lucky

Candles are a controlable source of light
Ready to be used when the time is right.
It was an early light source one could use
Which people return to when someone blows a fuse.
Growing steadily shorter as they burn,
They will not last forever one has to learn.
One must wisely make use of candles
Hard to move when they have no handles.
Should their light ever go out
A new light source will be needed more quickly to move about.
For one to get out of the dark
Do not neglect the importance of a single spark.
