Campfire Constanza
Let’s start up a campfire tonight
Gather up some kindling sticks
Paper and a few logs, not too thick
A blazing fire that glows real bright
Start off small; first just get it hot
When burning good, then add a lot
White smoke rising, like from a pipe
Swirls and twists goes with the wind
Move to keep from breathing it in
Popping embers sometime take flight
if one lands on you, it’ll burn
brush it off quick; that what you learn
Fire dies out and you lose all sight
Just like life, has a start and end
Blazes bright at first, then turns dim
Let’s start up a campfire tonight
A blazing fire that glows real bright
White smoke rising, like from a pipe
Popping embers sometime take flight
Fire dies out and you lose all sight
