Mercy

Today's Poem

Mercy

Endless mercy's what we need
When we are lost in lust and greed
And if the mercy's coming down
No wonder you won't see a frown

But is there chance that something's wrong?
Tomorrow brings a different song
And judgement may come into play
When all seemed easy yesterday

So read between the lines with care
Life sends so much, it's very fair
But if you push too much, beware
There comes a time when none will share

For mercy can be found, no doubt
But life is one great roundabout
Be grateful, then, for what arrives
Let mercy come, lest misery thrives
