Array ( [sid] => 816 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => What I Share of my Life’s Compassions (Part I) [time] => 2002-07-20 15:14:35 [hometext] => This poem is in two parts. We all share so much of this world to so many. I remember my compassion and hope to give more as I live in this world, instead of my fear of life, I need to embrace it. [bodytext] => If I had touched someone today
Then please let it be something of essence
The goodness instead of my fear of emotions decay
If I had made someone smile
Then I hope it’s of genuine precedence
Of ones own heart, a flying spirit for a while
IF I had made someone contemplate life
Then it was something that they had been wanting
Perhaps the struggles entangled, cut like a knife
IF I had done a good deed today
Then I hope it was done unselfishly, undaunting
So as not to be in the limelight, to keep at bay
IF I get the chance to open someone’s mind
Then I pray they can see both inside and out
The trials of what is ahead, leaving strife behind
IF I get the chance to show a rainbow
Then let the moment last forever and about
For after the rain, is our cleansings to sow
IF I can show how the butterfly wakes to the suns rays
Knowing someone was also warmed by my soul
Then their times to live and treasure, to be amazed
IF I can give my friendship to another
Should it inspire and last to an unlimited goal
Be it a timeless trek, our lives be praised
IF I can give my love to one forever
It will be one I know will make my life better
In the intimate ways that emerges in sensual pleasure
These are many of my feelings to what I have done
For many I have encountered, in my life path
Surely to immerse myself to please of what is to be won
No prize in life, its passion, it’s what we share,
The compassion of our emotions, the time of learning to laugh
Sometimes life is too serious, taking that time to care
