Analysis of This Craft To Have
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
This blessed to have craft isn't easy.
To stay going on from night until dawn.
This blessed to have craft is a gift to get it.
As told by the ones who are critics.
Claiming to know more about a craft not had.
To have to never have it.
Yet placed in positions to judge.
What it is somebody else does.
With a craft blessed to have it,
Fresh, raw and new.
Leaving many thinking,
What is loved is easy too.
And those who know this,
Keep their tolerance patient.
And those who know this,
Keep their tolerance patient.
And...
Without sacrifice.
What is loved is easy too.
And without a sorrow feeling pain.
What is loved is easy too.
Without heartbreak slow to mend.
What is loved is easy too.
And people seeking evil,
Done to others just to do.
Find an evIl doing easy,
Not that hard for them to prove.
What is loved isn't easy all the time.
Many find that out...
When attempts to use their minds.
Becoming today for many a challenge.
To hustle and bustle and also think.
For many this struggle brings to them trouble.
Unable to chew gum and walk.
For many this struggle means trouble.
When open mouths should be kept closed.
Muzzled tight.
And not heard to talk,
At all!
And those who know this,
Keep their tolerance patient.
