Mitigation Poem by Adeline Foster
Mitigation
Mitigation
As we plow the rows of life,
The twisted furrows of our strife-
We must look back a time or two
To see if they are following true.
To know the turning of the share
And shed a cleansing, woe-filled tear,
For, ever as we try to prove
The straightest line, our steps will swerve.
Yet if we contemplate too long
The cause and where we have gone wrong,
We'll miss the guide lines up ahead
And once again off course be led.
We cannot watch the ruts behind
And hope to straighten out the line.
But when each night our work is through
And we must rest as all men do,
We must gaze out across the field,
Survey the fruit our labors yield.
The knowledge of a job complete
Will see a field of golden wheat
Where now the furrows march apace,
The flaws now hidden in the haze
Of distance from the cabin door.
I love this poem! ! Everything moves and sways even if we don't want it too

Dear Madam, This one is really nice poem with peaceful thoughts. I liked it very much. Thanks for your encouragement and comments on my poem. Please keep your blessings with me. May God grant you perfect health.
