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
