My Grief - My Wealth

O’ Lord I’ll gladly share My wealth and happiness With one and all Butt my grief With none at all Those are treasured moments Of my strife Locked with gifted memories Of life When morns golden rays blacked All colors Nights silvery octopus tentacles Squeezed life Hot lyrical gem talks melted down ears, When doors slammed At sight Turning colors of hope Black or white Candled own blood to burn life Shed not a tear lest wash memories away Only my shadow clung By my side Pushing over rivers filled Of hungry crocodiles How can I share such daunting memories O’ Lord Just for momentary relief Start snatching smiles Rob some of happines Watering their eyes Please’ don’t make me so selfish ‘O Lord, Lest’ start loosing faith on ‘Thee Facing the sea, with sun setting behind Shimmering on waves my shadow wept Urging to drop a tear and loose my wealth But Nay My Lord, I’ve saved them for ‘Thee Whenever we meet, kneeling at ‘Thy feet I'll Shed all my tears n wet ‘Thy robe But never shall I share my grief With anybody Not even with ‘Thee My Lord Not even with ’Thee I’ll gladly share My wealth and happiness With one and all But my grief With none at all $kuki
