Someone Came to Craft a Ballad

Someone came to craft a ballad,

on a rain-soaked day in Spring.

Someone came to craft a ballad,

but by nightfall would they sing?

Ways of shame brought out the sorrow.

Dreams of hope composed the tune.

Could it be that by tomorrow,

unsung gracings in full bloom?

 

Someone came to craft a ballad,

ode to gaze transfixed on grace.

Someone came to view it valid,

all life's rainbows meant to trace.

Heartfelt ponders on a mission,

where life's clouds moved wide and full.

What could crash on an ambition,

simply out to gain control?

 

Someone came to craft a ballad,

for through faith their dreams were built.

Yes, they came to craft a ballad, 

based on ways that they had felt.

Gentle thought, it set the mood there;

freelance soul in wait of song.

Could it be someone you knew there,

that had longed for you so long?
