The boy with fire in his eyes <br />Stands there waiting. <br />It is his soul inside; <br />It keeps him standing. <br /> <br />And if ever the fire goes out, <br />He will freeze in the cold. <br />It is his heat <br />And all that keeps him living. <br /> <br />Or if it never is put to use, <br />It will consume him; <br />He will burn to the ground <br />His ashes left behind. <br /> <br />But if the fire blazes, <br />If kindled, kept and carried, <br />If the boy with fire in his eyes <br />Finds life inside that fire, <br /> <br />His fire will light the world, <br />Will pierce the mist, <br />A fire to drive the dark away <br />Forever and ever more.<br /><br />Daniel Nairn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-boy-with-fire-in-his-eyes/
