Not me, but another

Feelings sometimes rhyme without trying...

 

I may not have been the greatest,

Nor the wisest of my day.

I may not have been the kindest,

With only gentle words to say.

 

I may not have lived the longest,

Nor had hair of white and grey.

I may not have had the surest

Of beliefs that led my way.

 

But I always had my heart,

within my chest and within my mind

Ready with its charming art,

To warm and to remind.

 

Remind me of my gallant youth

Of many a task and tarry.

With many a noble and heavy truth,

I could make little but merry.

 

It was but once I found another

Another possessor of this truth.

Hope rose to understand the other,

And love the understanding’s proof.

 

Thus would I never linger, never last

I might rest in my cadence

If only a glimpse as she passed

Lent me her eternal pleasance.

You're right, sometimes they do rhyme rather nicely. :) Good job on this, found very little to comment on, aside from the fact that l liked the message, and the way you worded each line. Has a good rhythm, so nice work. :)
