Our Kindeling Flame Poem by Kelly Aragon

This world is a mess,
You see much sadness,
As you walk through the streets,
And see the fate that we keep,
People going hungry,
Children are crying,
Strangers are fighting,
Pain and despair,
Breath in the now polluted air,
And only one thing,
Keeps us going ahead,
The spark of life,
The kindeling flame,
The one thing that,
Will never fade,
For as long as it is,
In one persons heart,
It will grow,
Like a wildfire,
We look up and pray,
For a better day,
The one thing that we need,
To cope with the insanity,
The thing that makes us,
Go up that steep slope,
Our kindeling flame,
Our much beloved hope.
