The Fire Inside

Before he found the fire inside, he'd felt so small, and life had seemed a thing to simply take in stride! To know its thrill he'd never dreamed! He trod an ordinary path before he found the fire inside, with no extremes of glee or wrath. He'd rarely laughed; he'd rarely cried. There's one in whom he can confide. She's brought a hope he never knew before he found the fire inside. His eyes are open. All is new! love's lifting him; he now can try the things he missed - life's sweet joy ride! He soars on wings that could not fly before he found the fire inside. Nov. 11, 2017 For the contest of Julie Leigh Rodeheaver

That last line 'He soars on wings that could not fly before he found the fire inside.' Inspires the feeling of perseverance when it comes to loosing sight of the ability of taking flight in life. Wonderfully written congrats on your win!
