The Present

Shine bright through dark nights in the presence of those that smite flames The eternal flame won't perish for it's your essence that endures dark games Keep moving despite change as it is a constant in this life Forward motion is inevitable with adjusted views despite the appearance much strife Touch the flame to feel the burn so that you remember what that's like Some will burn bridges to block paths & then make excuses for their spite It's not right but it's a part of life as we're schooled by lessons we must learn When temperatures raise, we all sweat but this is a degree we all must earn Burn bright like a shooting star for life comes & goes in one flash Hard times come but they will go as those are never meant to last Take snap shots & enjoy the pictures for life is truly a great gift Be present for your movie to play your role & remember your lines in life's script
