My heart doth now become leaden With aches and pains gets laden When hearing news that are sordid Evil deeds of creatures too horrid
Demons and monsters in stories read Come alive to wreck lives unhindered With their fangs and claws so hideous And wicked to harm in ways insidious
When heavy sadness fills my heart To some pleasant memories I resort The happy carefree childhood days Of fun, frolic and friendly plays
Beaches, flowers, hills and dales Any scenery that my heart regales Little favors that life brings And a lot of my favorite things
Those little acts of my kindness Deeds of tact and thoughtfulness That brightened a worried face And emboldened to run the race
Unflinching always in my duty Guarding the kin with loyalty To gather knowledge my thirst And to share it was I first
Let the ugly face of life recede Let me only the bright spots heed Unknown are the ways of Providence In its kindness have I confidence
A branch is not destined to carry Fruit bunches that are too heavy No grudges and ill-will I keep A soft pillow I have to sleep |
