Keep The Fire Lit


All I ask is love me.
Keep the fire lit.
Remember how close we were
when I tend to forget.

Keep me in your heart,
hold me in your dreams.
Remind me that our distance
is not quite what it seems.

I've had hard times.
I've fallen away from you.
I need you more than ever now
or I may not make it through.

Lately I've been someone else,
I've taken quite a hit,
but please don't give up on me,
keep the fire lit.

It's Friday and I'm awake at 3am, wondering how I can manage what this day will bring me....but it's already a good day, and it just became a good week.

Dixie - How nice to see you back here.  You have already made it through, you know, but I can so understand wanting the fire to remain lit.

Needing the love most when I know I'm not lovable and don't even seem appreciative... I've had to ask this a lot lately. *S* And you've written the plea beautifully. *S*

Welcome back!! *S*

Dixie...Imagine my surprise when I logged on and seen this. It sure is nice to read you once again on these pages of blue, sort of like putting on an old sweater with each loose thread a fond memory. Welcome back and may your star shine bright for a very long time...Paul

Well, I'm late as usual, but let me add to the cacophony of noise with claps, hoots, yells, whistles, bells and a spare trumpet.  Nice to read again, Dixie!  :-)
