The Glow

She was her own version of flame 

She had a tinkering glow, a soothing afterglow too. 

She kept her head on her shoulders but always held it high. 

She’d set her eyes on a goal : chase it long and strong. 

She could hold back her tears and never let them show. 

She had to live up to that glow. 

 

A sea of smiles made up her footprint,

Happy souls around her all the time. 

She’d take it upon herself to light a fire and let it soar. 

After all, she had to live up to that glow.
