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
