Don’t hold it too close to the fire, that little wax figurine. More than mere art, it is something altogether more precious. Bound to a life. Whose? We cannot say, but someone. So take care of that little thing, don’t let it melt in the heat or crack in the cold. Don’t let it wither away in the dust and mould. Treasure it and pray yours is treasured likewise.
