A body of wax and an embedded wick
Shaped into a tiny lil stick
Home was nothing but just four walls
Alike living in a confined hall
Never much a use when all was well
Remain untouched in this lonely cell
Then came one cold and chilly long night
When nothing at all seemed so bright
Sparks came by, flare then emerged
And rooms enlivened for the dark was purged
Everything illuminated as time goes by
Its purpose was served with a silent cry
Soaring flames made its body wore
Deliberately melting to its very own core
Holding on till things got right
A puff then bids goodbye, and goodnight.
