"Fire in the hole!"
"Fire in the hole!"


caught up in a nightmare,
thinking I was a merchant ship
far out upon the deep blue sea...

when suddenly the dang engine room was on fire,
and all hands were on my deck...

why was this happening to me?

I was tossing and turning,
riding the crest
of dark tempestuous seas...

but at the last moment I fell to my knees,
woke up to find myself
on the bedroom floor,
crying

"HELP!
Will someone please call a fireman to hose me off?"

Then YOU appeared
with your custom hose
and put that fire
under control,
but not completely out.

(giggles) This is so wonderfully written, sweet friend, there's one place where the fire must always burn on and that is within, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
