We'Ve All Been

We've all been hurt contained ~ for reasons, not our own like some source of infamy the world could not condone! And then our beliefs diminished and then we were unknown ~ but mostly to ourselves our daily prone! We've all been swindled took mostly all the heat, the big guy seemed to take the most we handled the defeat! We've all been sore & severed apart from those we loved the game of fitting ~ give & take conserved not our betrothed! We've all been disappointed a lie to seal a boast, the pride we served annointed was merely its own host! With comforts coinciding we've reconciled the gross, forgetting what we're hiding is every day's remorse! We've all been justifying the worst, the least, the lost ~ until our mind's relying seems bargained to last cost! We've all been rung with chiding, we're getting old and gray, our closets filled ~ abiding the skeleton's relay! Once more my trust is riding upon the outcome's play, instead of just confiding the Master as I pray! It's still the daily guiding instead of swing and sway and patience, mercy's striding exhuberance ~ outweighs!
