Weary of life

Saturday,23rd March 2019

 

Lead me kindly to the light

if at all I am not the right

I pray in the night

with no doubt slight

 

I am not weary of life

even though, it is full of strife

that doesn't deter me

to feel safe and free

 

I am not a weeping child

who finds find no solace and gets wild

no doubt, I seek help

but that is only one step

 

I am tricked several times

but get no fume

I forgive at once

but don't take a second chance

 

Life has taught me many lessons

with the experience of persons

I don't term it treason

but just the change from the season
