Scribbling a small poem on the occasion of the fervour to bring hope to the downtrodden infected with incurable diseases(cancer, end stage vulnerable diseases etc)...
It's just one candle
One tiny flickering candle
A challenge to the darkness
A small beacon in the night
It could be just a gentle touch
A reminder that you’re there
Or a warm, compassionate hug
That shows you understand and care
Maybe it’s a helping hand
A thoughtful, practical deed
A bunch of coins, some laundry
Whatever meets the need
Sometimes it only takes your smile
To encourage and uplift
and should that smile lead to laughter
you have shared a precious gift
There’s comfort in shared Silence
Or in a softly spoken word
Or in taking time to listen
To feelings that must be heard
Yes, it’s just one little candle
Softly glowing in the night
Softly glowing in the night
But it can overcome the darkness
If it will only share its light
Just one little candle at a time
Each one giving from its heart
Reaching out to those nearby
Asking them to do their part
To make sure the light keeps growing
Reaching out to those in sorrow
Offering comfort, warmth, and hope
Strength and courage for a better tomorrow
