The Fire Inside Her
The fire inside her,
Once but a tiny spark -
Brought the promise of hope
And spread smiles all around.
The fire inside her
Grew into a playful flame -
Dancing and leaping up
To go meet the golden sun.
The fire inside her
Became a roaring blaze -
Fiery passion burning in her heart,
Guiding her through unfamiliar ways.
The fire inside her
Then mellowed to a gentle glow -
Warm, tender, protecting her
From the darkness so hollow.
The fire inside her
Has now begun to flicker -
Making her old hands quiver
But willing her to keep going.
The fire inside her
Will burn out soon enough;
Become ashes and dust
And glory days of the past.
