The Last Race
by Kay Lee Kelly
copyright 03-14-2003


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
Take me once more where the sun
shall shine upon my time-worn head,
For the last time as my race is run.

Soon to live amidst the ever-silent dead
now to repose half forgot.
I have broke the hard bitter bread .

With all those who trembled not,
buckled on their armor to fight,
against the callous tyrant's lot.

I have never bowed to his might,
knelt not before him ~ I bear within
my heart the conscience of the right.

Free from perpetual hate of gilded sin,
I shall be weary with the stain ,
forever poverty be on me ~ yet I win .

With unencumbered heart I go
to the footstool of my Maker,
I hope to stand a clean free soul.

I bow to no man, but God.....and him I pray for forgiveness...great comment on our world

This is incredible, Kay Lee. Where did you conceive of this wonderful word portrait? I pray that it is a poem only and not the reality of your current life...but the emotion and conviction is very powerful...

Warm Hugs!
Lyle
