 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Failing to be free


So much misunderstanding…
so very many broken dreams
always another answer beckons
always failing to be free.
What is it that always slips on by us…
as a mother cradles her dieing born?
Do we not see her poor heart is crying…
eyes tired … her whole life torn.
So very much misunderstanding
so little grace we all deserve
it should not be our own interests squandered
it should be love and love alone, we serve.
Why not cradle every waking child…?
their heart strong enough to know of truth
and not to squander such riches blessed to us
but to cherish all things as new.
We are failing the very point of living
always inventing a new disease
why not love and love another
then all mankind will be free!
