your poem speaks well into one souls,,,the beauty of your
words are unexplainable.  I wish I could find the words to
express how touching this poem was for me.

Yes, a sensitive and warm poem ...

... with much care as a powerful core ...

your words: 'we should be there first for ourselves' ... should be a matter of course (it's from where we get our strength to care etc.) but, I believe we're to clung to impoverished patterns from helping others without taking care of ourselves - then in the end we drown and need help ourselves ... how can we help and care for others then ? -  - genio

All the extremes we experience are here as we follow in the poet's wake. So many lessons to learn and to be the one who is in control of ourselves is imperative. What wisdom you share.Thanks!
