Wisdom to the Orphans

If you had a family that failed you, this is a poem for you.

                       Your only job is to blow

                              the candles,

                                 and if

                            not provided

                                 any,

                           preserve your fires.

I would have written a follow.up posm, but my intention of just creating this one syill remains.
The poem probably does reach out to everyone, but when I titled it, it's meany for those who felt like they never belong to anyone or anything, especially orphams. Because I was one myself.
" preserve your fires". Because that's all you'll ever have one day when you have nothing or no one to turn too.


Thank you for your review.

i think this would apply to everyone......we are stand the risk of losing our fire.....with or without starting well or not......how about a follow-up poem on how to preserve the fire! Great write!!

[Great Aunt Astri]

This poem has a certain 'mystique' about it I like 'preserve your fires' A good poem.

Less is certainly more here my dear...you never know when those fires will come in handy, only that they will at times...there's a lot of fire in my life, but alas, no salacious metaphors to attach to it...great job K :)

There are many fires in my life- and there will certainly be more- thank you Kubby!

[Einstein Noodle]

boy oh boy! a lot packed into the small space ...conjures all kinds of images and scenes played out ... and wisdom to take into ones heart ... nice job Kleio!
