Seventeen Is the Lucky Number

Lamenting sadness of my empath soul 
Ten supine feelings hit me hard and whole. 
The weeping willow of my heart so fine
Incidental weakness is truly mine.
My sweet soul feels bliss of veneration
A heart-felt idyllic situation
I can see auras around every soul.

Thank you Connie. I worked a 12 hour day yesterday - 7 hours at one school, and Meet the Teacher night at the other. Had no idea I even placed.

I have been called an empath before. I think it’s just that I am good at reading people that I sense their sadness! You did a nice job with the challenge! Good luck in the contest :) hugs

Being good at reading people is what an empath does best! It is the biggest compliment. What could be better?

I have the gift of discernment and have felt what someone was feeling even when they were not yet in eyesight! God’s gift from my childhood.

It is a wonderful trait to have some days, and a gift I imagine you wish you could put down others. Am I right?
