"She feels too much" some people would say Sometimes, it's all she can do to get through the day But wherever a soul is troubled, or a heart is in need She holds up the light and proves to be a true friend indeed The pain, sometimes, can take a heavy toll Sometimes, she really wonders if her heart will ever be whole Her body showing the ravages of the pain May never ever in this life be healed ever again She prays at night to not drink from that cup But daily it is served to her sometimes she is forced to sup The beast rules her life, so it would seem She wonders if the happiness she seeks is only just a dream Come and be healed, gentle empath Lay your pain at the feet of one who also practices the craft He will heal your pain and give you reason to live So that you may keep being a light to others and still have a heart to give ------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

This piece clearly shows the versatility of your writing ability. Having read your work for several months, it is obvious that your masterful writing should be included in Ron's book. You rank among the truly talented poets in Passions. It's a pleasure to vote for your work! A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |

Hi Sven, God bless you for speaking the truth so wonderfully, I will never forget this poem, there are so many people out there that dedicate thier whole lives to the service of others and it does take a heavey toll on them to the point of death, you have said to the world what I have always wanted to say but did not know how. Thank you from the bottum of my heart. Love always, Cerenity |

This is a very moving piece Sven. The unselfish giving of ones self in order to lift the spirit of others is but one step on the path of righteousness. |
