Lost and Found

It amazes me To this day With all the murders And all the hate With all the evil that is done everyday That I still have tears to shed That I still feel compassion That I still hurt inside for those affected I was afraid I might become numb That I may no longer care That I would become used to it Thankfully not, Thankfully I do still feel I do still hurt I do still shed tears of sorrow I do still have compassion I do still care I was worried I had lost my humanity As it turns out I just temporarily misplaced my sanity Eric (and sometimes not)

This is very nice. Especially I like the way you tied it up in that last little stanza!

Nice free verse, dear Eric (and sometimes not). Although you lost you are a winner because you found Humanity again: to feel hurt, sorrow, compassion and to care...I know people who lost their notion unfortunately... Love, Iolanda
