TORCH
Although noble and kind
being the source of light
and strength to others,
where the weak people
depend on the strong
it is not sustainable affair,
for anyone in the long run
the strength providing light
is consumed by the flame,
of the problems managed
of the assistance provided
of burdens taken and borne,
for the human is not stone
it is eventually affected too
no matter the strength of will,
and the flames will take you
if you are not careful about
protecting your very self.
A.G. Munson
