Ready, Ignition, Blast-off

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~Albert Schweitzer

Ready, Ignition, Blast-off

It is a long life, a strong life, a weak life

Times of joy, and a kick butt time of strife

At some point you are the apple of someone's eye

Then there are days you want to give up and die

And usually with a reason so hard to identify

You feel you are ready to get in there and try

Life itself is just euphoria, sadness, madness, happiness, and desire

A boring and smoldering existence can suddenly catch fire

To survive it we'll ride out the ebb and flow

We'll climb mountains and tumble into valleys as we go

Onto betterment we should never lose sight

Most of all we should never lose our fight

When there comes a time we don't really want to hear it

Someone who cares steps in to ignite your spirit

Come that time you shed unwarranted ire

Raise your arms to celebrate your new-found fire
