If I Can

by Debbie   May 13, 2007


If I can only stop the pain in every heart
I shall no longer cry in vain.
If I can only help those who would part
Or those who wanted to die
Or help one wretched soul
To once again feel alive,
I shall no longer cry in vain...

*Another old piece based on a poetry exercise.

    I like this poem but it is more like a verse you should try adding more to it. I think it would be great with more added but it is another great poem. 5/5

    Short... but amazing. i really think that you can tell how genuine the emotion is just from reading it. i love the first two lines. great job!

    I loved the emotion in this poem! It was short, but full of meaning. To stop the pain that everyone feels would be a great accomplishment indeed.
    How you worded this poem also added to it. Particularly how you repeated, "I shall no longer cry in vain."Great job, keep it up :D! 5/5

    With all due respect,
