The Spark Within Poem by Ntebo Mphahlele

'The world is full of sorrow, pain, and strife,
But within that darkness, there's a flicker of light,
A spark of hope, a glimmer of might.'

Though life may seem to offer only strife,
Within that darkness, there is still delight,
A promise that someday, things will be right.

The road ahead may be long and hard,
But within that road, there's a shining star,
A light that guides us, no matter where we are.'

Though we may stumble, we must persevere,
The light within us will always be near,
To lead us on, and chase away our fear.'

Though storms may rage, and winds may howl,
Within our hearts, a flame still burns so bright,
A beacon of hope, a symbol of our might.'

As we journey through the darkest night,
We carry with us, a spark of light,
A spark that kindles hope, a spark of might.'

When all seems lost, and we are alone,
We'll find the spark, within our heart's home,
And with that spark, a fire we'll ignite.'

Though troubles come, and troubles go,
We'll find our strength, and let it grow,
A light that guides us, no matter where we go.'

The spark within us is a precious thing,
A light to guide us, a song we'll sing,
A source of comfort, a source of joy,
A spark of hope, a guiding ploy.'

So, carry the spark within your heart,
And let it guide you, from the start,
To light your path, to chase away the dark
