The Fire Within
I was awakend by the smell of burning leaves and a yard filled with smoke.
When I jumped up and ran outside thats when I knew the fire was no joke.
I ran to get water to throw on the fire and heard crackling and popping.
Went to get my dog from the house I knew there was no stopping.
Then there was explosion that rock our neighbors and the ground.
Everything burnt there was nothing left nothing to be found.
All I could do was stand there and watch my life burn.
Hopeing and praying that there's a lesson for me to learn.
Being thankful for my family cause they were there.
To give me love and to show me they care.
