PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Give me succour, give me warmth,

Give me the breath of life.

Ease me, soothe me, comfort me

Muffle my cares and strife.



I go my way in silence

Bearing a heavy load.

I depend upon myself

As I travel my road.



I ask men for no quarter

Though they ask it of me.

I set my shoulders squarely

And act responsibly



But when I’ve reached my limit

When I’m ready to break

I turn to my heart’s desire.

My real needs I must slake.



Give me succour, give me warmth,

Give me the breath of life.

Ease me, soothe me, comfort me

Muffle my cares and strife.
