Notes About The Poem

 

 

This poem, twxt only and in paperback and ebook formats, is in Clive Blake's 'Clive's Uni-Verse - A Cornishman's take on life', published by Olympia Publishers in Jan 2022. 

 

Born To

Born to search,
Born to seek,
Born to help,
The mild and meek.

Born to rule,
Born to lead,
Born to show, 
We can be freed.

Born to Mary,
Born to atone,
Born to break
The hearts of stone.

Born to rally,
Born to rebel,
Born to dampen
The fires of hell.

Born to save,
Born to die,
Born a Saviour
For you and I.
