Life and Its Sadnesses Does Not Leave Me

LIFE AND ITS SADNESSES DOES NOT LEAVE ME

Life and its sadnesses does not leave me-
Quiet I hear and know
Pains of others pains of friends
Time’s wounds
I cannot heal-

Blessed now I painless walk through the world
Sadness is something else -
Pains of others are their pains not mine
Why should I be blessed
When others my age suffer so now?
