Little Flame (Poem)

Little Flame

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 little effort

We can send it back around!
