Spark To Flame

In the core of every spirit, extending deep within,

Breathes a spark that burns divine, protected from man’s sin.

A brilliant perfect spark, beautiful and grand,

Impervious to harm by man’s destructive hand.

Remembering it’s always there, to nurture back with tender care;

A place where one can always start, to heal a body, soul and heart.

It cannot be extinguished by man’s abuse or shame.

Only love can touch it, restoring spark to flame.

In the core of every spirit, extending deep within,

Breathes a spark that burns eternal, protected from man’s sin.

A brilliant perfect spark, beautiful and grand,

Impervious to harm by man’s destructive hand.

Remembering it’s always there, to nurture back with tender care;

A place where one can always start, to heal a body, soul and heart.

It cannot be extinguished by man’s abuse or shame.

Only love can touch it, restoring spark to flame.
