Be calm Be still Do not fluster or suddenly move Slowly perform the candle grip groove For the candle flame flickers a delicate dance I cannot afford to take a chance A draft, a gust, an uninvited ****** will end the candles gentle trust A Shimmer of colour as the flames bend I fear the candle flame is close to the end The dance plays on defying the breeze What ever I do I must never sneeze I Steady my hands diverting the air Excited to prolong the candles glare No second chances with this fair flame I’m playing the dangerous tip toe game My light footed journey is near to the end I’m greatfull for my flickering friend Stay lit Stay bright For I fear the night Without you I have no sight I must remember the candle calm rules so the flame burns on and never stools Be calm Be calm Be very candle calm
