<font color=darkviolet>Life is fire <br />Some flames burn brightly, <br />sparking and erratic, <br />continuously fueled by adventure and excitement. <br />Others glow faintly, <br />a breath of wind could put them out. <br />These need nurturing, <br />need love and care to kindle their flames. <br /> <br />Keep a flame close, <br />be cautious of how it’s handled. <br />Cradle a flame within your hands, <br />protect it from rain and wind and peril <br />Speak to it with the softest whisper. <br /> <br />A flame only gets one chance, <br />just one. <br /> <br />So easy to go wrong <br />to make a simple mistake <br />that extinguishes a flame forever.<br /><br />Jane Meyer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fire-of-life-school-assignment-9th/
