David Ignatow - Listening

You wept in your mother's arms br and I knew that from then on br I was to forget myself. br br br Listening to your sobs, br I was resolved against my will br to do well by us br and so I said, without thinking, br in great panic, To do wrong br in one's own judgment, br though others thrive by it, br is the right road to blessedness. br Not to submit to error br is in itself wrong br and pride. br br br Standing beside you, br I took an oath br to make your life simpler br by complicating mine br and what I always thought br would happen did: br I was lifted up in joy.
