I am the spark to a fire
I am small but I can become something great
I may not be big but I can be bigger than you

I am what can ruin all that you have
I am the source of all of your fear
I am what makes you run

I am the spark to a fire
I am what can destroy all that is yours
I am what can create something larger than life

I am like a yellow firefly
I am what lights up the midnight sky
I am what can turn night into day

I am small but I can be big

I believe this poem can show you that no matter who you are or how big you are, you are you can be whatever you want to be.
