use a firey voice and defend all good morals.

Good news and acceptance warms your soul,
like sharing a fire for a similar goal.
With a head in the clouds it’s a day to dream,
let creativity flow for a future to gleam.

Thoughts of old tales from the folk,
stories of children, while witches soak.
A choice to made, two paths to follow,
their ends are both fruitful, neither are hollow.
