I lay my hand upon your chest <br />And feel the man within - <br />The trembling of a heavy heart <br />Beats just beneath the skin; <br />A heart that yearns to understand <br />The burden that it bears, <br />Sometimes the pain is so intense <br />You think nobody cares; <br /> <br />And yet this heart is ever full <br />Of endless love to give - <br />No matter how uncertain <br />It still has the right to live, <br />And even though you worry <br />Let the healing now begin, <br />That I may lay my hand upon <br />The man that dwells within. <br /> <br /> <br />1/30/2008<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-man-within/
