A very beautiful text that I am sharing with you.
The 4 candles
The four candles were burning slowly.
The atmosphere was so silent
one could hear their conversation.
The first one says:
I am Peace!
However, no one
can't keep myself awake.
I think I'm going to shut down.
Its flame quickly diminished,
And it went out completely.
The second one says:
I am Faith!
From now on, I am no longer indispensable.
That makes no sense.
so that I stay on longer.
When she had finished speaking,
A breeze blew over her and extinguished it.
Sad, the third candle appeared in turn:
I am Love!
I don't have the strength to stay on.
People leave me out and
they don't understand my importance.
They even forget to love those
who are close to them.
And, without further delay, she died.
Suddenly… a child comes in
and sees the three extinguished candles.
Why are you off?
You must have been on fire until the very end.
Saying this, the child began to cry.
Then, the fourth candle spoke:
Don't be afraid, as long as I have my flame
we will be able to light the other candles,
I am Hope!
With shining eyes,
The child took the candle of Hope...
and lit the others.
May Hope Never Fade
in our hearts and that each of us
may be the necessary tool to maintain
Hope, Faith, Peace, and Love!
