Spark that star

Great wealth is found in the grave they say

Lost and buried 6 feet away

But why will stars be thrown away, and glory untold just fade away?

See this star never lit the dark because

The flame that light the stars didn’t spark

You see a forth night I wrote my first line.

And this star you see was spark.

you see, I didn’t know the wealth inside until the wealth you see made

called forth against all odds not because it was not but because it was

Called forth against all fear, fear of I can’t, but I dared

So back to the grave, make no mistake.

See these stars decay; they did not engrave

in the heart of man, the virtue, the promise the light and impact

They didn’t become because they, could not overcome

Because the fear of what if’s overcame faith in what is

but you see, I could not talk till I spoke, Couldn’t write till I wrote, couldn’t…

There is a star waiting for a spark inside that heart.

Light that star. Don’t let the shadow of fear come through the dark and quench the spark.

Start today, don’t take it to the grave.

Start that club, write that song, solve that case, write that code, take that course, light that star.

Take that step, walk, run, fly, rise, overcome, become. Because…

Without the spark, the star won’t mark a path in the heart of man. Fight

Fight the fear with faith every day and face the foes inside with facts; you have the star.

Now spark that star
