A single flame dances in the breeze

Holding its ground with effortless ease

It warms the night it lights the way

A steadfast guide when the skies are gray

Its glow extends through shadowed lands

A gentle touch from unseen hands

Though small and frail it holds its might

A quiet force against the night

Each flicker speaks of battles won

Of countless storms and a rising sun

Its silent strength will never tire

A fragile spark yet full of fire

When darkness looms and courage wanes

The lanterns glow forever remains

A quiet beacon soft and bright

Guarding the world through endless night
