dear little candle

Dear little candle,

thank you for being part of my home

you bring me light

you bring me warmth

"But fire is dangerous!"

fire is a tool

fire is an asset

"I won't knock it over!"

Is it a dangerous game to play with your warmth?

I want to like you

but I don't trust you

Yet I keep you in my hands

Dear little candle,

why are you doing this?

Is it just a strategy?

Are you a marionette?

They call you a phoenix

I call you fire

Don't let them knock you over

Do you promise me?

Only a fool with a big heart can love a candle

I love this fool for being a fool

maybe because I like a candle too

So fools are alike

"That fool will ruin us!"

If you don't let him knock it over

but who gave us this candle?

Who gave us your warmth?

Is it naive to like a candle

is it naive to love a fool

Is it a crime to see good

does it have to be ploy all the time?

Dear little candle,

please bring us the warmth the fool loves

so I can love the fool

and not set us on fire.
