The first candle said, "I am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me
lit." Then Peace's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.
The second candle says, "I am Faith, but these days, I am no longer
indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly diminishes and goes out
completely.
Sadly, the third candle spoke, "I am Love and I haven't the strength to
stay lit any longer. People put me aside and don't understand my
importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." And
waiting no longer, Love goes out completely.
Suddenly . . . A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer
burning. The child begins to cry, "Why are you not burning? You are
supposed to stay lit until the end."
Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, "Don't be afraid,
for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles."
With Shining eyes the child took the Candle of Hope and lit the other three
candles.
Never let the Flame of Hope go out of your life. With Hope, no matter how
bad things look and are, Peace, Faith and Love can Shine Brightly in our
lives.
Don't let these candles go out in your life!
If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, march down there and turn
it on yourself.

Some stop chasing rainbows,for they think they aren't real,
But they aren't something you can touch,they're something you must feel..."
