Candle Light



Flickering candle light burns away.
Everyone's cold and that's how they'll stay.
Some try to keep warm but soon they fail.
Few babies sleep in their wooden cradles.
Starving people beg for food.
Many people will change their mood.
Why do some people live this way?
Unhappy lives from day to day.
We can help those dying one's,
If we take the time time to pitch in funds,
Then fall down on our knees and pray,
To give thier lives another day.
