It started as a wick
It began as a seed
Then there was a flick
Next came the weed

Hold the lighter
Add a little sun
Grip it tighter
Let the water run

The flame kicks up
Give it lots of love
Put it in the cup
To give it a little shove

The wick is lit
It grows up tall
Watch the candle spit
Green throughout the fall

The candle starts to slip
Owls make it home
You're losing your grip
Watching the animals roam

It falls to the ground
Then the owls flee
Too late to turn around
Animals no longer around the tree

The fire spreads
The tree is in pain
It destroys the owls beds
The tree is slain

So the lesson to learn
Before a lighter you flick
Lives you will concern
If you light the wick
This is sorta a lesson that smokey bear would teach. x) I did it so every other like (except the last verse) tells a story and then they inertwine.
