Our beautiful signature personalised wax new birth eternal candles are approx. 10 cm wide by 13 cm high. Because our candles are lit from the inside using battery operated lights (there is no wick) they last forever, hence the name 'eternal candles'.The verse on the front reads:Every child begins the world again.Henry David Thoreau Poem on the back reads:A candle, a candleTo light me to bed;A pillow, a pillowTo tuck up my head.The moon is as sleepy as sleepy can be,The stars are all pointing their fingers at me,And Missus Hop-Robin, way up in her nest,Is rocking her tired little babies to rest.So give me a blanketTo tuck up my toes,And a little soft pillowTo snuggle my nose.
