Flame of Life

a match stick is born
with oxygen the mother
and time the father
Its power becomes a storm
no its song, not a match long

originally it was a baby sonnet...think I prefer the original...

match born,						
with time as father,
and oxygen as mother
its power grows into a storm.

but alas its very song, 
not a match long.
