Your Fire: A Tribute To Those Who Have Paved The Way Before Me
Your fire has given birth to my fire
Your fierce power breathes in me
Guiding me through life, day after day
Relentlessly, providing liveliness and defense
Your labors and efforts have given me a chance, a chance to become.
A stage to evolve, a platform to thrive.
Your wisdom, strength, gifts and good fortunes
have blessed generations from your bloodline
Your guiding fire keeps my navigation compass in focus
Your fierce fire is my light, near and far
Your blood runs in my veins, connecting me to you wherever I may be
Your legacy has a home nestled in me
I feel your presence in the sun rays
In the river streams
In the rainfalls
In the touch of the winds
I feel your presence in the laughter of kids
In the speech of loved ones
In the strength I bear in the toughest of times
I feel your presence in my dreams
In my quiet moments
I feel your presence day after day
I ask that you carry on nurturing your fire within me
That you keep the passion and zest for life alive in your descendants
That you guide us to paths where there will be life, hope, fruitfulness and victory
That you will fertilize the soil we walk on, making it rich and bearing
Let your fire live on and on
It is your fire that gives light to me
Near and far
It is your fire that gives light to me
