Forbearance

I'm tired at times,

Like resting neath the pines.

Heaven knows the sweat I bear,

In droplets they seem to pair.

 

Yes, I was once strong and young,

Chasing a carrot that was strung.

Almost a slave for what I earned,

Yet those masters may now be burned.

 

Too late I awoke and looked beyond,

And saw my life above the ground.

I gazed at  what my labor built,

And I was not the one with guilt.
