THE LAST CANDLE BURNING

WHEN YOUR BURDENS APPEAR THAT THEY ARE TOO HARD TO HANDLE,

DO NOT, MY DEAR CHILDREN, BLOW OUT THE LAST CANDLE.

THERE MAY NOT BE ANOTHER LEFT FOR YOU TO LIGHT;

ONCE YOU’VE GIVEN UP HOPE, YOU LOSE GOD FROM YOUR SIGHT.

WHEN THE LIGHT GOD PROVIDED YOU NO LONGER CAN SEE,

YOU WILL WALK IN THE DARKNESS WITHOUT GOD AIMLESSLY.

EXTINGUISH NOT THE CANDLE THAT GOD GAVE YOU TODAY

FOR IT MAY BE THE LAST ONE TO HELP YOU FIND THE WAY.

THE BURDENS YOU CARRY CAN HELP TO PRESERVE

THE CANDLE GOD GAVE TO THOSE WHO GOD SERVE.

AS LONG, MY DEAR CHILDREN, FOR GOD YOU ARE YEARNING,

GOD’S MERCY WILL KEEP YOUR LAST CANDLE BURNING.
