I am a man But not just an ordinary man, I am the bringer of Romance and the defender of truth and the weak I wonder why Why in a world where we can send people into space and clone sheep there are still lonely people I hear melodies Not only the melodies of music and sound, but also the melodies of life and of the heart I see the heart And I know the heart, I know its whys and its hows, and I know its sorrows. . . and its joys I want to know To know the secrets of life, I want to know destiny and fate and everything in between I am a man I pretend a lot In my imagination, I've been many things, poet, painter, knight; but, they can't compare to real life I feel much I feel the power of the universe and the cries of those who hurt, they only yearn for love I touch the sky And the moon and the stars obey my commands, the wind carries my voice and the thunder and lightning sing my love I worry too much I worry about things that I can't control and I let them get to me, but I'm working on it I cry over silly things I cry every time Charile Brown discovers Christmas, I cried when Jack gave his life for Rose. . . and I cried when my Father died. . . I am a man I understand some things I understand that nothing is impossible, and I understand my place in the world, but I don't understand life I say to you That I have much to say, that I could talk your ear off and still want to listen to you I dream in color The colors of the world, the colors of life, the colors of love, the colors of the universe I try to be better I have a lot to work on, I can be short, abrupt and angry at times, but I'm always improving I hope for us A hope that one day, all of us will be happy and free, and that we will all know love I am a man But so much more. . . . . . a catalyst. . . . . . an agent. . . this is me. . . --------------------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 01-06-2001).] |

Sven, you are all this and more. Finally, finally, the mirror captures the man. Btw I stole the line 'and the moon and stars obey my command'. I'll give it back to you later. write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Hi Sven, "I feel the power of the universe and the cries of those who hurt, they only yearn for love" This line shows your loving empathy for all, you have much of wisdom friend, it's so wonderful to know you, yes a very good loving man you are.
