The Moral

Time in its path doth deal you a blow
but in all sincerity surely deserve it not i
yet to the mind life in reality does it show
yet comprehension of that is what pending lie

so in confidence in self i stride
not realizing the need of humility
as work of my hands i bore on my side
dejected and depressed i stood in simplicity


i knew stories of sorts were many
thought toi me they were but a fable
and solutions i sought but weren't there any
for was too late already too late to be able

oh indeed it was only in preparation
for after chance doth come chance
to be able to stand further humiliation
and to learn a war like stance

to the mind again it told
of the simple words i had once heard
be humble and yet be bold
and so to action i was spurred

so it is for men after me to remember
that trials bow before work
for 'tis like air to a glowing ember
not in fable but truth
and then in true success i shall lurk
