My Fire

A fire burns within me
It is not for all to see
Though many do so admire
My passion is my true fire

It shines brighter than the sun
In every task that is done
And never does retire
My passion is my true fire

Sunshine or rain, rainbows or clouds
Whether alone or amid crowds
This trait always flies higher
My passion is my true fire

Whether the path be shallow or deep
Am ever ready to take the leap
It is what many desire
My passion is my true fire
