Fires Burn Like Life
-2/22/00
On rainy nights a firelit pipe�s divine,
With smiling faces and sparkling cups of wine.
The fires inside are burning warm and bright,
Much to all the girls� and boys� delight.
A grandpa sits and thinks of olden days,
When but a child was he who�s old with age.
Wishing that the days of old�d return,
He blinks at Now, and watches fires burn;
Like life they burn away as years go by,
He thinks, and drinks again with but a sigh.
