Life Is Beautiful
The brief candles of
4th of July sparklers
are always disappointing.
You just get them lit,
maybe give them a wave,
and it seems they're out.
Just a crunchy bit of wire
for the kids to burn
their fingers with.
But the glow they make
on a kid's face, the shadows,
the sparks reflected
in their eyes, the white -hot
light.We'll keep firing up
those sparklers, we'll light
them up all night.
