Analysis of The significant life.
The significant life.
The candle was burning .
and shedding tears.
As its life was ebbing away,
it was crying.
But it was spreading light
in the dark room
and removing the darkness
Of the eerie night.
The moon light,which was entering
through the window panes
became less effrctive
when the candle light was comparing.
Life was significant,
though the span of life was small.
The candle exploited itself
to spread the light.
