BY FIRE

Each time trials come my way,

It is by fire, it seems.

They burn into my total heart,

And into my very dreams.

Each time a trial comes by fire,

It melts what is not true.

It tried to melt this wonderful love,

This love I have for you.

Each time trials come my way,

The fire burns hotter yet.

It scorches and burns away the chaff,

But your love within me, is set.

Each time a trial comes by fire,

Love stands staunch and tall.

My love for you is forever true,

And does withstand it all.

Each time a trial comes my way,

The flames are reaching higher.

As love for you does ever grow,

My love is the ascending fire.
