Ponder How Poem by S.W. Clark

Ponder the hopes of dream filled souls
how visions fade to dust
or how they think that by the movement of
nerve alone that will should posses its' must.

Ponder the loves of lonely hearts
how beauty becomes the beast
or how wanting another with
passions yearning yet to them your favor is least.

Ponder the lives of deprived souls
how without they make their best
or how easily their lives could have been ours
so we should never of their failings jest.

Ponder these verses and forget them not
'cause your life is a dropp in the sea
soon you will be gone into lifeless mist
but your deeds last eternally.

Protect this soul
lay it not aside of thee
deliver special care;
desire its' purity.
Hearts fed on affection and concord
give joy and warmth
Who cannot afford?
