Just An Ember

So tough to remember
My time as an ember
Keep a flicker alive
To let a flame arrive
Kindness does fuel one's heart
A noble way to start
Cradle me in your hand
Rush to hearth burning grand
Then become light again
Feel the heat, not the pain
Love's brightest defender
Remember the ember

Thanks very much Maureen. Just a little verse, a bit of a metaphor.
