When fear is strong and strength is dead
When love and joy abandon you
When mental anguish grows in you
When the last of efforts fail to save
When your fate is ill, your mind enslaved
And when your head hangs low in misery
This is when you’ll find the key
A single ember from deep within
Burns hotter and hotter, as flames begin
The fire of truth will light the way
And help you fight, this lonely day
The battle is long, the struggle is rough
Never regret not giving enough
For when we offer our very best,
Our very soul is put to the test
Stand tall and true and you’ll prevail
Just hold on tight and never bail
You will survive if you don’t quit
Victory is there, if you reach for it
One day in the future, you will look to the past,
And know you had what it takes to last
So never give up and good things will come,
Not just honor and pride, but a job well done.

The Fire Inside

This is when you’ll find the key
A single ember from deep within

And a very well jod, done here! An uplifting read with a message for all who feel hope is lost or losing ground. I kept thinking "good line i will quote that" but all in all there were too many lines and couplets to chose a favorite or a quote. The overall poem and message is just heart warming.

Excellent Job!
