Destiny Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Destiny
The destiny
of a candle is to burn
and shed light for others.
It remains unwanted
when the sun shines,
or in the nights that
electricity lights up;
even while it burns
itself to naught
it remains unnoticed;
it is just the flame
that gets noticed.
Isn't true of this life? Some people have to sacrifice more than others. A wonderful illustration of life through the imagery of the burning candle
There are many hundreds of human beings around who lived the life of a candle, showing light to the world, but never shared the limelight of the flame. It is the flame that get noticed, not the candle….
Self burns to show light to others.Avery good mission of the dead candle.
The light is of no use to the candle……still it burns to light the world around it..

In the lives where sunshine and electric power are in abundance too, there are occasions when a candle comes handy
