On A Journey To The Unknown

*Step Inside My Shoes*


If you think my job is easy
Just step inside my shoes
If you have a heart like me
It will affect you, too

For a job to be difficult
Isn’t always physical
At times it touches your heart
Becoming so emotional

I hide the tears from them
When I see them suffer
With all my heart I wish
I could make them feel better

But it seems, this I can not do
No matter how hard I try
And, when their time comes,
The tears still come to my eyes

Ah sweet Sue..you have such a caring soul.
More bad weather on your way for the weekend.
Please stay safe and keep in touch.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Your muse is back in full swing! I know this is a spontaneous pour from your loving and sensitive heart. As you well know, I fully understand where you are coming from with this write and I surely do commisserate!

You will get stronger ~ but never harder! Don't change a hair on that angelic head of yours!  

Loveya!

SweetSuzieQ~
The work you do is so needed ... it's no wonder you get emotionally wrapped up in it~

Know that you made someone's little corner of the world better just for having been in it~
