I Cannot Be Where You Have Been

To the best of my limited ability, I chose to show some well understood humility In that I only know my own heart and soul Being compassionate is my most avid goal. I cannot get inside another’s thoughts or mind. I want to help, uplift and relieve all mankind. But I can simply not be where you have been. Even if I was a close relative, your closest kin. I do not fool myself into believing I know any better. Things are done daily that I do not adhere to a letter. The more I learn, the farther in my mind I travel and go, The more I see and observe, I am convinced that the less I know.
