We Are All a Little Candle

 

We are all a little like a candlestick 

Potential, dark and brittle until someone lights the wick 

No matter how pretty or polished, the taper or jar 

We are just a knick-knack till we shine right where we are 

God instilled in everyone a little candlestick 

Oh, won’t you hold it up to Him and let Him light the wick? 

Then whether it’s a song, a smile, a bit of poetry 

We can brighten someone’s mile by shining cheerfully
