You tried to tend a fire
Then smothered out the flame.
You watched me stir the embers
And revive the flame again.
There are some things that I know well and I am apt to teach,
But only to another who is apt to learn.
If you play with fire,
You will soon get burned.
If you do not know its ways,
Fire can get out of control;
Then the price you pay
Will be a hefty toll.
