Light of Peace

Here are some beautiful lines. The central idea has been taken from a piece of poetry from Thailand. It's thought-provoking as well as inspiring:

The Four Candles burned slowly.
Their ambiance was so soft you
could hear them speak.

The first candle said,
"I am Peace, but these days, nobody
wants to keep me lit."
Then Peace's flame slowly
diminishes and goes out completely.

The second candle says,
"I am Faith, but these days,
I am no longer indispensable."
Then Faith's flame slowly
diminishes and goes out completely..

Sadly the third candle spoke,
"I am Love and I do not have the
strength to stay lit any longer.
" People put me aside and don't
understand my importance.
They even forget to love those who are,
nearest to them."
And waiting no longer, Love goes out
completely.

Suddenly,a child enters the room and
sees the three candles no longer burning.
The child begins to cry,
"Why are you not burning?
You are supposed to stay lit until the end. ".

Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently
to the little boy,
"Don't be afraid, for I am Hope,
and while I still burn, we
can re-light the other candles."

With Shining eyes the child took
the Candle of Hope and lit the
other three candles.

Never let the Flame of Hope
go out of your life.
no matter how bad the things look
but with Hope;Peace, Faith and Love
can Shine Brightly in our lives.
