If I stopped learning

No fire would grow

All light will fade 

Away form the floor 

I would never 

Reopen the door 

 All that there is 

Is lessons to learn 

If I stop learning 

I will never yearn 

For happiness or sadness

Anger or grief 

I will have lost 

All that lay at my feet 

 'Do not forget me' 

Is what they all say 

I will not know 

At the end of today 

Mistakes I would make 

Their volume would grow 

And all because 

'I do not know' 

 If we stop learning 

Go where, would our spark? 

Our light, our fire 

Our beacon in the dark? 

It would falter and fade 

Shrivel away 

All because I abandoned 

What I could've learned that day 

 Do not stop learning 

Bright little spark 

You must become our beacon 

In our dark 

Keep learning, young one 

And keep it that way 

We don't want to lose 

The light of our day 

 Learning teaches fire 

And flame 

Beauty and glory 

And anger and shame 

Nothing prepares us 

Like those of before 

So be ready, bright spark 

To learn once more
