Fire

There's many things a fire can do
Can't list them all so here's a few

It starts out small and then grows big
Begins with just a spark and twig

Amazed by the fires graceful dance
Flames dancing with such elegance

Embers fade into the dark night
So fearless and ready to fight

Fire symbolizes a rebirth
It will help you find your true worth

Fire represents your power, too
Rising from the ashes anew 

A fire can warm up your cold toes
Or burn up tall trees by the groves

The flames dance and flitter about
Trying so hard not to go out

With a fire you should never flirt
If you do, you'll surely get hurt

When using fire, please use great care
Fire is danger, so please beware
