Campfire

By Brenda Jank

I am running my race for the long haul.

I do not want to be a sparkler – a dazzling, short-lived display of light.

I want to be a campfire – a source of light and warmth for long, dark nights.

The poet, Judy Brown, reminds us what a long-lasting fire requires to build and maintain.
