Eliza Cannon Poet Rhyme

Goodbye Eye For An Eye

Dear sweet child,
So full of anger and remorse,
Terrors running wild,
Be weary of this troubled course,

An eye for an eye,
Seems understandably justified, 
A comforting lie,
When you live every day terrified, 

Embrace your heart,
Break those cold rusty chains,
Time to make a new start,
And cherish the warmth that remains.
