The Fire
The Fire is warm the fire is bright,
The Fire gives light all through the night,
Come be warm by the fire the wise ones say,
Come be warm by the fire please stay all day,
There is no cold by the fire you see,
Just me and some blankets and warmed up tea,
Sit a while and warm thy soul,
Please come its not just for the old,
Those who stear away from the fire,
Their hearts grow cold and burn with desire,
The Desire to warm them selves true,
But unless they come close they will be cold threw and threw.
