FORGIVE ME NOT CHILD
In the middle of the yard
A fire was burning
warm
It was very cold
And greedilly I placed
my bluish hands
over
the magical warmth
I closed my fist over it
It hurt me more than the cold
forgive me not,the fire said
forgive
me not, the fire said
so i cut some wood to nourish it
i sheltered itt
from the rain
i watched over it at night too
so it would not die
i
nursed it when it was low
I tried to take it in my hand
it hurt me bad...
forgive
me not, the fire said
as it leaped into my soul
the untamed magic of freedom
the fire of life will not be tamed
with a fist
forgive
me not, the fire said
in my heart and soul
as a child was coming over
to my life
attraced by the sparks
the dance of the flame
his little
hands were cold
he put his life into the flame
the secret of the fire
was in me
the fire of love
will not hurt you,child
forgive
me not, the fire said
to my soul and to my heart
love cannot harm a child
ever
forgive me not ever...child..
Forgive
me not the fire said
i will burn in greed
those who harm a child
forgive
me not ever..child.
