Analysis of Build
Why in the still of the night
do I ponder my own character?
To live by life's standards and my own.
See truth and lose sight.
Remember days of old,
simple and happy.
We lived- we loved life.
Stout of heart- Bold.
Every day a new lesson,
the night a reflection.
Look no further than within,
all hearts bear sin.
Of lessons of life, the days are filled.
Some greater, some less,
all equal in the soul.
Learn from these lessons and Build.
