Never As They Seem (Poem by Mark Swift)

Things are never as they seem,
For that I am certain.
A thousand tales I have known,
And all will repeat.
Politics will be corrupt,
Sorrows will infect;
Anger will destroy,
Starvation will kill;
Thirst will consume,
Winds will overcome;
Yet in these all,
I've seen you before;
Every time I fall,
I see you again.
You've been with me,
Shared in my suffering.
Let me repay the favor,
Because here I will stay.
