Fire

Note(when just discovered)

It was a warmth that kept us 
sane,
And without it we would 
complain,
Your Beauty does always sooth,
And now around it we could not 
move,

But then a day of dark and 
gloom,
And then a rainstorm went 
suddenly boom'
But then the rain did start to 
pour,
And then we cried oh please no 
more,

And then calmly the pour did 
stop,
But the baby lightly cried in its 
cot,
So the fire went but said no 
goodbye 
And all we could do was sit 
there and cry, 

But then suddenly a bolt did 
strike,
And came down with a bang 
witch gave a fright,
Suddenly the wood did start to 
light,
And then the fire came back 
with great height,
