Ardent To Be Lighten Poem by jodlizbeth dominic

Eagerto be lighten to burn for others
Lighten me to givebrightness
They are being inthedarkness
Mademetogive lightforothers?
Nobody taking me even all needed light
IfI have a tongue surelycry loudly
Why,theywere not taking me in need
Felt pity and so wished to get lighten
Oh, children, I am sitting near to you
Dear, father I am here look aroundme
Mother, sitting am in the kitchen shelf
Grandma kept me here and there one day
Tellingthey each other ‘ get lighten'
Takeanduseme….….dear.......please
Grandma,whereareyounow tellme
Sorry, I forgot that you have passed away
That day grandson kept some more candles
Wecandleshere numbered'ten' now
Sittingsimply herno other uses by us
Even ants or flies were not coming to us
All were in discussion of way to get light
Why they werenottelling even our name
Now remembering that, oneday the child
Taken me andwent toher mother's help
‘ Mother ' helpmeto lighten the candle
She, scolded taken back me from the child
No waythereisnowayto belighten
Create me to burn and give light for others
Havecreated mantolighten or others
Evencan'tbreathcan't tell anything
Never ever you think of others life or role
Don't forget we also created in same vision
