FIRES OF LOVE by VILETA NELSON CHARTIER

First Line: YOU LIT THE SPARK OF LOVE ONE DAY
Last Line: THE EMBERS WARM.
Subject(s): FIRE; LOVE - LOSS OF;

You lit the spark of love one day
Within my heart
And tended it until you saw
The love-flame start.

And when you saw that all around
It brightly burned,
You turned, and wandered down the road
All unconcerned.

The years have passed. 'Mid charred remains
New walls I form.
Yet, even now, I stir and find
The embers warm.
