REKINDLE: Nurturing Vivacity in Life

	The sparkle in each child's eye
	often dulls with age
	yet with love and tenderness
	it can brighten again.

	The questions of youth
	often turn into stale dogmas after many days
	yet with faith and playful questioning
	winter bark can transform into fresh leaves
	as silver branches send out verdant sprigs.

	Day by day nurture the parts 
	of you that are still young

	Light a match and behold the wonder 
	Explore new vistas
	Laugh at death and 
	never worry about the impossible -
	all great things 
	at first were deemed far flung.
