This New Year..

Keep the fire burning inside you..
Tend to it with tongs of ambition..
Fuel it with passion and compassion..
Bask in the radiance of victories and glories..
But remember that failures also make good stories..
 
Keep the fire burning inside you..
Don't let it flare from irreverence..
Protect it from gusts of decadence..
Use the bellows of faith in good measures..
But know that some logs will burn more than others..
 
Keep the fire burning inside you...
Clear out the ashes from yesterday..
Vent out the smoke, or they'll weigh..
If you keep a close eye and stoke all the embers..
The fire will keep you warm; Jan through December..
