Sonnet # 43
Yes, a child me when tears my face should be.
A bird now free when I've for house a cell.
But I must give my heart some dignity.
There all my love for all humans does dwell.
Lo. yes, at times I'm sick, my mind's not clear.
For luxury I have what thoughts can buy.
But then if life goes on beyond the here,
My pain on earth should be a useful cry.
Sometimes I have the sun, its light is free.
At night the pearly moon I can behold.
In winter: snow; I flowers in spring see.
Those natures goods my suffering enfold.
Yes, poor I am in food and money none.
But I'm much love inside; then I've the sun.
