"my Flame Is Lit"

The bleeding has stopped and the air is fresh...
For the flowers are blooming and we are still blessed...
We bond together like water and the sea...
Each hand that's held helps us to heal and believe...
We talk for hours of times when we laughed...
Making everyone happy and safe is now my craft...
My soul is rich from this rain that has fallen...
And my heart is strong and no more crawling...
I live for today, for tomorrow we can't predict...
My faith is strong and my flame is forever lit...
