The Spark

 A spark is found at the beginning

But on it\'s own is fragile, unsure

There needs to be a twinning

With the serious flames that endure;

 

Many people think the spark is all,

Is the only thing they need

But they are bound to take a fall

Just thinking of the seed;

 

The fire needs to develop and grow 

In the grate where it comfortably lies

There is such a long, long way to go

And the spark on it\'s own just dies
