Thanks to dreamkeeper for the challenge phrase (check them out in the Challenge Forum!) Who seeks the dying ember within this tender flame who builds the warmth with gentle care? and calls this lover’s name? You cannot chide the blaze as it dies for want of air so bank your fire faithfully and tend it with great care Though sunny days may warm you it’s the night than can be bleak but if you keep the fires kindled no other flame need you seek |

indeed we must first tend to our own flame, and only then will we attract the flames of others. . . this is excellent. . . have I mentioned that it's good to see this coming from you??? --------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
