PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As I walk this lonely road

With the burden and the load

Of all my sins and misdeeds

And ignoring the wants and needs

Of others

My sisters and brothers

For whom I could not spare

The time in which to share

With them their joys or pains

Their losses or their gains

Nor let them share in my griefs

My life or my beliefs

It comes into my mind

That I have been so blind

It was impossible for me to see

What would set me free

But now as I look back

At the widely scattered track

Of the chapters from my past

I really am aghast

At how often I did fail

To follow the right trail

Now that my end is in sight

I have finally seen the light

No matter what you believe

I hope you can perceive

The truth in what I say

Or a heavy price you'll pay

Share yourself

Don't hide upon a shelf

The more you give

To help others live

The better able to discern

And feel concern

Leading to love of our fellow man

Once more being one as we began
