The bright and inspiring lights of Chanukah. Linor Kuighadoush
One candle's flame
Shines
It gives off light
To the clarity of day
Many more flames
A more powerful shine
But does that help much
To the day's light?
One candle's flame
Glows
It gives off light
To the darkest of the night
Many more flames
A stronger glow
Aiding us through
The confusion's blackness
You don't need more light
During the day
But every candle's flame
Helps to make
The night's little twinkle
Gleam stronger
