The four candles burned slowly. Their ambience was so soft that u could hear them speak?
The first candle said , ? I m PEACE , but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit .? The Peace?s flame slowly diminished and went out completely.
The second candle said , ?I m FAITH ,but these days , I m no longer indispensable. ?Then Faith?s flame slowly slowly diminished and went out completely.
The third candle said , ?I m LOVE and I haven?t the strength to stay lit any longer. People put me aside and don?t understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them .? And waiting no longer , Love went out completely too.
Suddenly a child entered the room and saw the three candles no longer burning. The child began to cry , ?Why are u not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end.?
Then the fourth candle spoke gently to the little boy ,? Don?t u b afraid , for I m HOPE 
, and while I burn , we can re-light the other candles.? With shinning eyes , the child took the candle of hope and relit the other THREE CANDLES.
Never let the Flame of Hope go out.
With Hope in your life,
No matter how bad things may be,
Peace, Faith and Love
can shine brightly once again.
