Dear candles,
Thank you for burning bright by my side
As I stare at my homework, wide eyed.
Thank you for improving my mood
As you fix my crestfallen attitude.
Thank you for always being there
As your pleasant aroma fills the air.
Thank you for your glowing light
As you provide warmth through day and night.
Thank you for your entirety
Even though you won’t be here for eternity.
– Sincerely, those who love you dearly
