'Why should I show concern to someone, <br />Who has not expressed that to me? ' <br /> <br />This unheard but seen in the faces of children. <br />Those who are fathered. <br />But orphaned by those mothers-to-be. <br /> <br />'Why should I keep my faith filled with hope? <br />When that patience I never witnessed, <br />Being reflected to center upon me to feel and see.' <br /> <br />And I want to sympathize with those lonely. <br />I do. <br />I want to show those alone, <br />My empathy delivered as proof. <br />I do! <br /> <br />I would do this if asked to choose. <br />But... <br />Overwhelmed I am by so many in need. <br />No power to correct this do I have within me. <br /> <br />Although I whisper in the ears of those near who can hear... <br />Never give up. <br />Believe... <br />In yourself. <br />You must! <br /> <br />Never give up. <br />Believe... <br />In yourself. <br />You must! <br /> <br />Never give up. <br />Believe... <br />In yourself. <br />You must! <br />Never give up.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
