Life Of A Fire

Snap! Crack! Goes the bark 
As the fire burns on in the dark 
Red, orange, yellow oh my 
Brilliant colors that light up the sky 
As flames swirl in the air 
All sit and stare 
Many stories are told 
As the night grows cold 
The fire burns 
And everyone yearns 
To stay warm 
Into the early hours of the morn 
And the fire slowly dies 
In everyone's eyes 
The heat dwindles away 
But returns with the first sunray 
Smoke rises from the ground 
And all mope around 
The fire is dead 
Now it's time for bed
