Compassion Is...
A plentiful gift
healer of a widening rift
why must we callously choose
to harden hearts, thus friendships lose
It costs us nothing
extending a little loving
sympathy is but a waife eaten
while empathy lingers, it's place unbeaten
In this life
comes trouble and strife
mercy given brings good cheer
whilst indifference renders forth a tear
We all need
humans all bleed
no matter what your trouble
ignorance pays us out in double
Time ticks on
too soon is gone
waste it in selfish pursuits
look not someday, for riper fruits!
Change it now
to a resolutions vow
compassion is our greatest treasure
entrusted us, at HIS Majesty's Pleasure
