Charlie Smith Poet Rhyme

Lament of My Life-Contest

Hope rest my soul, not from the pain
     But from grave acts yet unforgiven
     And from my heart remove the stain
     That leaves its mark among those grieving.

     Make known the harm of which I bare
     Won't feel much less when I am gone
     But if I could but share my prayer,
     I would for fortune, I have drawn.

     At peace, my wish is to reside,
     Lest not from cost, I've shared no claim
     Make pure my conscience to abide
     From love, for that I've failed to shame.
