Little Flame (Poem)

I have a little flame
At the center of my heart
I know how it got there
God was the very start
+ + +
One little flame
In a vast dark place
One little smile
That won't be displaced
+ + +
Light a flame beside me
Hence there are two
It's now a little brighter
We know what to do
+ + +
It could be a smile
Or a helping hand
All the different ways
As countless as sand
+ + +
Pass on a kindness
Or uplifting word
Light another flame
Against this dark world
+ + +
Like little ripples
On the surface of a pond
Little flames alight
When the heart is fond
+ + +
Ever-widening circles
Spread the Light and Love
As our little flames
Reflect the One Above
+ + +
Further and further
Light this shining ball!
One little flame
Can encompass us all
+ + +
When the darkness comes
To blow our flames out
There is one thing that
It hasn't figured out
+ + +
Within each heart
A little flame is found
And with a some effort
We can send it back around!
