I'm nobody really I'm just a man A man with the heart of a poet Gentle and loving A man with the voice of an angel Open and accepting My life has always been an open door When I thought I had given all, I gave more This is my calling, to pierce the darkness with light To be a help to others, giving them strength to fight I've always been this way A gentle spirit A man who wears his heart on his sleeve Caring and helping A man who has borne much on his shoulders Supporting and encouraging My life has always been an open book And, just for a moment, I'd thought I'd let you take a look To look and see where begin the words that come from my pen A better look into the heart and mind of one they call "Sven"! ----------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven~ NOBODY ? NOBODY ? I don't think so ! You are 'thumbody' and your gentle loving spirit comes through each poem you grace us with. We've seen your heart. It beats with loving poetry for friends. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Great Poem. It reminds me that there still are some truly good people out there. Lucidity is the answer to all problems |

Sven, Do not sell yourself short my friend. You are definitely not a nobody. You are a very special man and I am sure that shines through in all you do. This is a wonderful glimpse into your heart....thank you for letting me look.  Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Anyone who works at helping others for nothing in return is not only a somebody, but much more in my eyes. Great work, on the poem and in life |
