Beautiful, very beautiful.
: Day by day my candle burns,
: though it really isn't mine,
: 'twas lent to me, no guarantee,
: by the spirit ghost of time.
: I am a candle, I have light,
: to burn away my hours,
: and whichever way the wind will blow,
: my candle it devours.
: Each candle has a special flame,
: each one a different glow,
: some will shine red,some will shine blue,
: as colors of the rainbow.
: None are to short, none are to long,
: each candle starts the same,
: and for each person in the world,
: a candle baers thy name.
: Sometimes a gust will blow a flame,
: and make it go awray,
: some will go out, some will remain,
: to light the nightly sky.
: And when my candle s' burnt away,
: like that of many others,
: I thank the spirit ghost of time,
: and she will light another.
: Today my candle burneth strong,
: it is'nt yet my time,
: I know one day it will be claimed,
: by the spirit ghost of time.
