A Flame Is Born

A makeshift thought ignites

A mind that lacks a spark.

And with it a flame is born,

That sheds light in the dark.

 

Never let a thought escape,

That needs a home to be born.

How many times have I let it go,

Too lazy to give it life with words.

We should never be too lazy to write down a good idea, thought or song. With that flame, I'll sing along.

I always keep a pen and paper somewhere very close to me. If I don't, that thought certainly does escape.

Love ya!

This stanza propels me to learn something new everyday,because most of the time we are drawn to be lazy to life words.More over an igniting thought is that which is ambitious to learn and it sparks to shame darkness.
With as many times l pray let me have the zeal to learn something new every day.
