Never Only Yours
Carry the weight of the world
you, a sharecropper in lonesome field
plowing along in the expanse
hoping and praying your daily yield.
'It's too much to bear, it isn't fair'
restful thoughts heard you say
'please, take it away!'
Was never yours,
the long, windswept rows
you planted, they watched
as your crop grew..
They were always there
an ancestral lot, yours
bound to them
and them to you.
Your heavy burden,
does it feel lighter? Rejoice,
for they carry it
for you
now.
They always will,
and they always,
have. (I vow)
