One Flickering Flame

by Martha L Shaw

Darkness. 

Are you afraid?

Do you dare try . . .

You cannot overcome it,

or maybe . . .

One small candle lit

and held in shaking hands.

The light has come

but eyes squint to see it

and the flame flickers.

Suddenly, another candle

its wick still pure white

becomes enflamed.

Then another

and another still

and soon the warmth

touches hearts and souls

and the world is ablaze

with glory!

Believe!

Very nice message. If each one of us lit a candle, the darkness would be replaced with billions of flickering lights.
