The Kindling Flame
Location
I want to be a light.
A light that shines bright.
That is a kindling flame,
That takes away all shame.
That teaches and is taught
By other people's thought.
To be all I can be,
To help others to see.
Togive all I can give,
To help others to live
Amidst a darkening world.
To give a love of learning,
Is something I'm longing for, yearning.
To teach of words and written things.
To help others find their wings.
To soar on the heights,
To lose all their frights
And follow all their dreams.
To read and write,
Is something that just might
Open doors and set people aright.
To teach these things,
To help others find their wings,
Is the one job I want to have.
To help others soar,
To help them be so much more,
Is a carrer that will never bore.
To help others find their way
Each and every day
Will allow for me to say,
"I have found mine."
To be a kindling flame
That takes away all shame.
That gives hope joy,
To each girl and boy
Is the only job for me.
