A candle burns slow its flame so meek Yet it outlasts the strong and sleek Patience the light we often seek A quiet guide through times unique The world may tempt with fleeting flame A dazzling show a glorious name But lasting light plays a softer game Burning steady always the same Through trials and doubt its glow remains Carving beauty into lifes terrain With patience even the smallest gains Become the triumphs of hearts unchained So trust the flicker let it glow Through endless nights let patience show For in its warmth we come to know The steady light helps gardens grow
