It’s a warm glow inside me
Keeping me cozy
Inviting a slight soft smile
To turn up the corners of my mouth.
When the joy washes over me
And floods me with happiness,
I know its core.
It’s in a secret place
Deep inside me
I feel it flickering
When I least expect it.
I keep it safe and protected
Lest a wayward breeze
Will snuff it out…
But I am coming to realize
The strength of the fuel
Which feeds this wondrous flame.
I treasure its warmth
I rejoice in its light…
This glow bestowed upon
All that I do.
