A Match's Metamorphosis


Without a helping hand The match lies idle. Without a helping hand The match finds no self-purpose. Without a helping hand The match can produce nothing. Without a helping hand The match knows not where to begin. With a helping hand The match gains a sizzling flame. With a helping hand The match finds a meaning. With a helping hand The match gains importance. With a helping hand The match can begin its journey. Once lit The match is a therapist Helping others find the way. Once lit The match is like a well-watered plant Able to reach its full potential. Without a helping hand The match would be nothing But With a helping hand The match can be everything.
