A wonderful person
Walking along the boulevard
Their hair flowing in the breeze
Gentle and silken
Burning brightly
A wonderful light

Then

Along the way
They see a figure
A child
In the street corner
In the dark
Lost
So
They burn themselves
To give their light
To the one in the dark
So that they may have a light
And carry on

Inspired by the following quote:
"Good people are like candles; They burn themselves up to give others light."
I'm not sure who the quote is from, but I love the quote. It is so true, on so many levels.
