Notes About The Poem

Take My Hand Not My Life

Take My Hand Not My Life Life special moments of splendors Smoldering away like embers Silently yearning to be wanted But always undesired ~ Take my hand not my life ~ Tolerate me don't persecute me I will work and support myself and family just so I won't go back to the human abuse I exist in perpetual fear of detection and deportation. ~ Little innocent babe's lurks behind For the wonderful feelings of being united in oneness Instead of random denial ~ S pirit T ends I n L eading L ives E nlighten X enagogue I mpowers S elfless T ruth Unity of our souls gives us courage and strength
