Silently, surrounded by darkness
\nStands a candle in the wind
\nFighting to stay alive, unaware,
\nOf the joys that it brings<\/p>\n

So busy we get in our lives
\nLost in the daily grind
\nWe forget, how much we mean
\nTo the people we leave behind<\/p>\n

People that need your love
\nSometimes don’t even ask
\nWhen they need your love and care
\n‘Coz you’re too busy with your tasks<\/p>\n

What do we work for, pray tell me
\nIf not for family and loved ones?
\nIf they are neglected throughout, then
\nWhat work have we truly done?<\/p>\n

Live like a candle,
\nFacing the winds all alone
\nLighting up lives nevertheless
\nGuiding lost people home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
