One Day's Magic
One Day's Magic
Gifted was the magic of words given to me
a sword to cut with or defend as I see
Weapon for good or even evil should I choose
in either I may still cry and sadly lose
Yet should I be insightful and choose good
all may not turn out well but O' it should
Cutting and slicing useful acts to defend
those we love , care for and so 'oft befriend
No great righteous spirit has been gifted
a heavy burden given not one gayly lifted
A price , for seeing and then daring to act
a duty to truth and a crusade based upon facts
One day's magic seems so great a fantastic gift
that is until it's true burden cuts in so swift!

written for Freddie's contest, One Day's Magic.
A truly great idea for a contest....
A burden that would crush any person having it,
for man alone can never ever properly use such power.
It would corrupt his soul and lead to his very destruction IMHO.
