I rose and followed thee - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

My heart free, unbound by the chains
I rose, and followed thee
Oh how I wish, this was the way
the truth I lived by every day
That the world, my life
my cares set aside
that I would walk ever
right by your side

Not you who failed
not in the least
it is my timid soul
held from thee
by my own chains
bound by my doubts
mired in the clay
the dust of the earth
