THE TUNNEL

I see a burning candle-light
at the end of the tunnel
held by a someone
could be a man or
woman
I am not sure.
Let the candle light
continue to burn
at the other end of the tunnel
infinitely.
It is the symbol of hope
hope and nothing but
hope.
Let not winds blow it away
let no one snatch it away
let not a single drop of
rain fall on it and
force it to die away.
Let me light up a candle
at this end of the tunnel
and hold it
as long as I am
here.
