If I say I've had enough

That I'm fed up with all this stuff

Yet I may not huff and puff

If I hear your moans of sorrow

All your woes of your tomorrow

Yet I may not your sorrow borrow.

If I feel at your pain and tears

Each sad time over all your years

Yet not my fears as it appears.

If I touch your heart and soulI see and feel your every goal

Yet not the same but that life has stole.
