Wards the shadow of a freezing night
warming bodies
massaging with relaxing dreams.
Its smoke shields from bugs and animals.
A means of communication,
signaling help when lost.
A warm doctor--
kills bacteria.
A master chef--
warming food for a delicious bite.
Thank you, brother fire
for your charming nature.
