O Bell

Toll for me O Bell of truth
Chime the hours ahead
For sadness weighs on our hearts
And emotions easily bled.

Extol with me O Bell of justice
Chime the days gone by
For liberty stands within you
And freedom will not die.

Appease me O Bell of mystery
Chime the months past
For pursuit of happiness is our dream
and peace that's meant to last.

Return to me O Bell of ages
Chime the years goodbye
For fear has touched our tortured souls
And mighty mountains sigh.

Smile on me O Bell of hope
Chime the century gone
For tomorrow bring a lasting joy
And a world that's not forlorn.

Paul,
What I like about this poem is the overall feeling of hope. It seems to be a tribute to all the tragic events of our past and a wish that we've learned from those tragedies. I like how you've connected each verse to reach that overall sense of hope. Great piece:) Love and Hugs.

Inspirational is just the right category for this but those that need that inspiration most may not benefit from reading it.

Well Done.
