[hometext] => Thinking about how lucky I am to live the life I have been given
[bodytext] => I once read about a man
Who followed a fish for days The man's hands bled As it pulled him along But he continued on Though the pain endured He let his hands bleed To eat his only meal in days Could I feel his pain? Could I live through it? I often wonder Am I as strong as they say? A woman sits in her room Cold and out of breath His hands have struck her Too many times tonight But she has nowhere to go That's what they tell her So she sits alone With a shawl around her face Could I feel her pain? Could I live through it? I often wonder Am I as strong as they say? A family lives under a bridge A baby at a mother's breast They've got one layer of clothes At ten degrees celsius The children will not see tomorrow They're blood will turn to ice The parents will die of grief Sometime the next evening Could I feel thier pain? Could I live through it? I often wonder Am I as strong as they say? Considering the lives of others I know I am fortunate To have been given choices To have been given certain rights I live a life that some only dream of I cannot take for granted anything That is put in front of me For everything I must be grateful [comments] => 1 [counter] => 204 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Adreana [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
