that bellows
embers into
flames

Ahh....this lanterne warms me!! The proof of such a statement (poem) lies in our children, ...who with encouragement blossom! The same goes for all God's children...encouragement works wonders!

We all need that, too. Along with your talents you offer so much encouragement to others so I guess we must see you as the "Heart" that "fans" our "embers into flames"~ LOL! A perfect piece as usual. Smiles from Lolita
