Tread gently through my soul good friend <br />For I am sore from life`s travails <br />Tread gently through my soul perchance <br />You touch upon some tender ills <br /> <br />There are no remedies for pain <br />Incurred through worldly strife <br />Tread gently through my soul good friend <br />For I am sore from living life <br /> <br />No alms can soothe this troubled brow <br />Nor mend this aching heart <br />Tread gently through my soul good friend <br />Don`t tear this fragile life apart<br /><br />Valerie Dohren<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tread-gently-through-my-soul-good-friend/
