In Time

The fire burns fiercely.
As trying to warm my doused heart.
I lived my life one hour at the time.
Though my heart skipped some beats,
it was always in the right place.
I never betrayed, not even in my greatest depths.
But I eventually realized that nothing could last.
Even the fire dies out and leaves me here in the dark.
Still I am not afraid.
After everything I had ever endured,
I knew I always kept learning.
I know I'm never alone,
that I will always get back up on my feet.
Life still carries on.
As do I until my maker and I will meet...
