Be a candle
Which burns and kindles
And sprinkles, in the darkness, a light

… Like stars, twinkle
Bright and simple
And mingle, in the darkened night

Win with struggle
Smile in trouble
Giggle, and give it a fight

Time isn’t ample
Life is a bubble
Travel, like a controlled kite

Let a stream of love, gurgle
Remove all shackles
Level the uneven heights

All feuds and quarrels
Fights and squabbles
Settle with talks that are right

From ashes and rubbles
A new boat, you must propel
Double the speed of your flight.
