        LOOKING AT THE FIRE
I looked at the fire, it’s flames leaping high,
Sending light and warmth to those near by,
No other light at the moment was there,
It was surprising just how bright and fair
Glowed the warm fire, burning so bright,
Such a comforting and pleasing sight.
I thought a moment how bright is my fire?
Do I glow warm and bright so others inspire,
Or is my fireplace empty, just set to burn,
Forgetting others around me who may yearn
For the light and warmth my lighted fire can bring,
To light a pathway to goodness help a heart sing,
Yes, I’ll try and be a warm, bright fire for all to see,
Help bring some home rejoicing to worship at His knee.
I’ll build my fire so that it lasts through the darkest night
And always try to be a beacon leading to the light.
