My Burden

In solitude I've searched to find a respite for my troubled mind A repose where there might be lain this lode I"ve carried all in vain This cache which o'er the years has grown from far too many seeds I've sown Those seeds which all too often yield a bitter fruit to spoil the field This crop which has so cost me dear o'er many a season thru many a year That I might, this burden bare just one more step then lay it there Tis then that I shall be set free a clear blue sky my eyes to see And in that moment shall I find a place to rest my weary mind
