Four divas slowly burned. The ambiance was so soft,<br />
one could almost hear them talking.<br />
The first diva said<br />
I am Peace<br />
The world is full of anger and fighting. Nobody can keep<br />
me lit. Then the flame of Peace went out completely.<br />
Then the second diva said<br />
I am fate<br />
I am no longer indispensable. It doesn’t make sense that<br />
I stay lit another moment. Just then a breeze softly<br />
blew out Faith’s flame.<br />
Sadly the third diva began to speak<br />
I am Love<br />
People don't understand my importance. Sadly they put<br />
me aside. They even forget to love those who are<br />
nearest to them. I haven't the strength to stay lit. And<br />
waiting no longer Love’s flame went out.<br />
Suddenly a child entered the room and saw three divas.<br />
Why aren’t you burning You are supposed to stay lit till<br />
the end. Saying this child began to cry.<br />
Then the fourth diva answered<br />
I am Hope<br />
While I am still burning we can relit the other divas.<br />
With shining eyes the child took the diva of hope and<br />
relit the other divas. The flame of hope should never go<br />
out from your life and with Hope each of us can live a<br />
life with Peace, Faith and Love<br />
There are magical moments in life that come unexpectedly<br />
when the darkness disappears and the sun rises above the<br />
horizon. This happens when there is hope, there is faith,<br />
when there is faith, there is love and when there is love in<br />
our hearts, Miracles happen! Blessed are those in whose<br />
