What Makes You Keep Going?
Even When All Hope is Lost
When Everything seems Upside Down
And Shooken Around
Twisted and Turned Inside Out
Mismatched and Split Apart
When the Walls are Too Tall
And the Barriers are Too Strong
The Journey is Just Too Long
Maybe the Storm is Too Big
And on Top of That
The Treasure is too Far Down to Dig
But the Small Flame Way DeepDeep Down
Pushing and Shoving
To Keep Goin
To Keep Knowing
What Tells You to Believe
What Shouts at You
To Imagine
To Create
To Encourage You
What Tells You to Pave Your Own Path
To Go Through Those Woods
Your Own … Woods
As You Navigate Your Own Personal Journey
Remember that Soft, Warm Glow
The Glass Filled to the Top With Hope
Shining and Comforting
That Bright Light
In Which Creates the Fight
You May Have Forgot About that Small Flame
That Little Glow
Yes, It Will Start to Grow
Way Down in Your Soul
That Fire that Drives you Forward
Bright Colors Like,
Red, The Strong Heart that Beats, Beats, Beats
Orange like a Sunset at the Bottom of the Sky, on a Warm Summer Day
And Yellow like a Bright Star on a Dark Moonless Night
Every Now and Then
Things Go a Bit Crazy
But I can Promise You
It Will Always Shine
Way Deep Down in Your Belly
Almost like the Taste of a Good Home Cooked Meal
Comforting and Sweet
A Warm and Gooey Feeling
Like Toasty S’mores
Or Mac’ n Cheese
Even in Times When the World Feels Over
That Fire to Keep You Awake, on a Cloudy Day
Whispering in your Ear
Urging You On
Making the World Feel Just,
Just a Little Smaller
Giving You Just Enough To Hold On, and Keep Going
So, Say Thank You, to The Fire in Your Soul
