A Candle Loses Nothing...

"A candle loses nothing when it lights another candle." This is what she'd always say. "What is a candle for? " she'd ask, "if not to help to light one's way." To me, she was like a candle… always wiling to lend a helping hand… to share her light with others… to help brighten up the land. I heard her say it often… yet she never once explained… It's not about what the candle loses… it's about what the candle gains. I do not know the exact number of years she has been gone… But she lit so many candles while alive her light shines on…and on. Perhaps the beauty of a candle… lies in its ability to mystify… for when it lights another candle its light will never die.
