SPARKS WILL FLY
They rise with the heat of their source
Upward they glow traveling their course
Like offspring of the flames they fly away
Born in the fire but unable to stay
Embers like opportunities missed out
Or hesitancy fueled by intense doubt
And choices made in rash thought
That rise to unfortunate lessons taught
The very nature of it determines its lot
Filled with drama like a movie plot
But rising quickly then out of sight
So too the passing of our earthly flight
You can mark it down and call it so
As the sparks fly upward it shall go
Trouble will sometimes come your way
But never, ever, does it come to stay
