Rhyme Time
Glow of candle

In a factory, I was made,

With wax and thread.

People sell me as their trade,

To buy their bread.

I started my journey,

Which was very funny.

I was bought by many,

With exchange for a penny.

I was put in a cupboard,

Where I got bored.

When lights went out,

I was taken out.

I was lit with a match,

With a fire to catch.

I spread light,

Making man’s life bright.

I keep darkness away,

Making night a day.

I burn and burn and glow,

That makes my wax flow.

I burned through the night,

Making the room bright.

Lovers date in my light,

And try to catch each other’s sight.

They share a kiss,

Which I didn’t miss

I was in fear,

When my end came near.

A new candle was brought,

And I was thrown out.

I dreamt about a puppy last night,

Which got hurt in a fight.

It was a Labrador

And was of the colour I wished for.

It was brown in colour

and cuter than other dogs

I woke up and saw a puppy under my bed

Which was sleeping in a basket.

I felt it was the cutest puppy

I had ever seen.
