Spark

How can a spark shine so bright?
Warm our hearts with hope
Lit our paths crystal clear
Even far afield in Cape Town
How can that spark,
Shine to death
Without ever becoming a flame
A fire that sets our hearts warm
And ignite our hope
How can a spark shine so bright
Only to leave us in the dark
With no glimmer of hope
Why, why, why, why, why, why?
Why did the spark that was our hope
Shine so dimly until it faded away
When all we needed was fire
