They asked me
To be a guiding light,
To shine, and
Illuminate their path,
To dispel darkness
From their lives,
Make it bright.
I was happy
To oblige,
To be of some use
To do something
Worthwhile
With my life.
I didn’t know that
I am going to
Become a lamp
I am going to burn
Throughout my life
Without respite.

SACRIFICE
Thy name is burning life!
Instinct to ignite
Lives of others
Lights yours in return!
Mental peace
You derive
In abundance
Overtakes appreciation
Without reservation!
LET LAMPS BURN!!!
