THE SOUL

by Norris Jenkins - Not entered

Oh my what have we here
            Tis it some thing that is dear
              This thing that will not die
                But trys to soar so hi

                Oh my what have we here
             Tis it some thing we can hear
             This thing that has no bounds
                But does not say a sound

                 Oh my what have we here
            Tis it some thing we can hold near
                This thing that is so pure
             But knows not it's mind for sure

                 Oh my what have we here
               Tis it some thing we do bare
              This thing that has no weight
                But knows not how to hate

                Oh my what have we here
             Tis it some thing we should fear
               This thing that has no mind
                But knows not human kind

                     Oh my I do see
                It is some thing it was me
               This thing that is not whole
                 Knows now it is my soul

Reason for writing:

    I was into soul searching at the time
