Wax to Candle

Life is a journey. It is up to us to make a difference. 


Life is a journey.....



Just a piece of wax

Shapeless, aimless, wondering—
What am I meant to be?
Stay as I am? A formless thing?
Oh no, that feels so empty.


Then what shall I be?

Should I become a table piece or a toy?

A rose flower or a sunflower?

What am I supposed to be?

What’s my destiny?

Stay just wax?


But wait—I'm chosen!
Lifted by unknown hands.
Excitement fills me… until—
Heat! Flames!
Stop! It burns! Please stop!
Let me stay as I was—just wax.


Then a gentle voice whispers,
"You'll return to wax, yes,
But not the same.
Within you burns something greater,
A wick of transformation.

You are more than mere wax.
You are a candle—
Meant to shine brightly,
To chase away shadows,
To bring warmth to the frost,
And to share your light with the world."
