All We Know

Of all the world the many seams no wonder at times divided Of all we know of right, and every right’s been wronged Yet we try to mend and forgive -- Despite the glory of heaven, and the devil we know his domain Yet we try to live!

So pleased you caught that! I wondered if the work was not clearly enough written. Poetry is so multidimensional, the poet apt to get lost in himself. Have a great writing day my friend!

Hi Joe; thank you -- I keep trying. Among other, very talented pursuits, like music, my wife has been a clothing designer -- so, sewing is in the family. We keep trying.
