Carefully carry the flickering candle.
Make sure the flame is secure and well lit.
The surface beneath it is liquid and fragile.
The slightest misstep can extinguish it.
Love the rose gently, and carry it softly.
It's beauty is fragile and bruises with ease.
The velvety petals are lovely and fragrant.
But gone in an instant in a strong breeze.
Lovingly, carefully hold to your loved ones.
Their lives can be fleeting and gone at a turn.
Press closer always to give them assurance
Your presence supports them brightly to burn.
So, thus the existence of candle and roses.
Their lifetime is shortened if jostled about.
Take heed if you love them, but always remember
They brighten our days, but are quickly snuffed out.
Yes, take care of what we do and say, we have a profound effect on others
