EMPATH

Let me write poems for all our souls
	With a pen in my hand …
Let me communicate all our words
	With a pen in my hand …

Let me take all emotions and confuse them with my own.
Let me have all notions to tend until they have grown.

Let me cry for all our sakes
	With a pen in my hand …
Let me pray for all tomorrows
	With a pen in my hand …

Let me dare as I know best to distinguish all life's nettle.
Give me all of your unrest so each heart in turn may settle.

I love this poem, CayCay. You reflect in it what we are all trying to do in our hearts, and you reflect it well.

Thank you for reading a past post - one poem written prior to Soup and not contest inspired in any way shape or form! I appreciate it because all too fast 'our babies' scroll down and vanish. Quick Quick Vanish Thanks again. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
