Hearts in distant voices falling Ever loud'ly resoudant calling To beat the brow, to burn an ear Screams so loud its all I hear Why am I the one bereft The one to move, the heart that's left "I, I am the only one" Emotes e're mine of which I'm done I cry a lonely single tear And sob a sound for I to hear Touch me not my outstretched hand Hold me not so I may stand I've trod this far ~ my lonely path Through storms of dreary bitter wrath I've seen the sun and felt the rain 'Been doubled over down in pain I'd take this lot and toss it yon Regardless of the miles I've gone If only for one step to stand To hold your hand within my hand May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |

While at times it may seem that we walk alone without any one for support there are people who care. If you look I am sure you will find a travelling companion. Great poem, The rhyming was fantasic. |

On timid feet do angels walk. Yours tread lightly, but leave a lasting impression nonetheless m'friend. |
