Analysis of The Candle...
The Candle ..
The Sun after working for the whole day,
Felt tired and asked the entire world,
“Who will work in my absence?
I want some rest,
I need someone to take my place,
Only for one day,
Show some guts,
It’s not difficult.
I know all of you can do it,
If not altogether,
Do it, bit by bit.”
Everyone remained silent,
But a Candle whispered,
“Dear Sun,
You can proceed on rest,
I promise,
I will try my best,
I know I am not as bright as you,
But I promise my best I will do,
I believe,
It’s not the matter of Size or Status,
It’s the Attitude that Shine,
Don’t worry dear Sun,
I will perform the duty,
As if it is mine.”
