I'm just a bag of ivory bones <br /> A heart that breathes compassion <br /> A flower vase of faith and hope <br /> A clock that ticks the time away. <br /> A brain that tries to fill each day <br /> With something that expresses me. <br /> Though it be simple <br /> And not please <br /> More learned souls than I, <br /> I feel I should not apologize, <br /> If I say <br /> It's not for them <br /> Anyway.<br /><br />Anna Livia<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-my-soul-mates/
