Compassion

Compassion --- the caring for others who need.

Compassion --- the feeling for others who hurt.

Compassion --- the love offered to others who have none.

Compassion --- the lifting up of others who are down.

Compassion --- the willingness to catch others who have fallen.

Is it in your heart?

Is it part of you?

Do you sit and talk?

Do you stand and do?

From inside of us

comes a quiet voice.

Then on the outside

we must make the choice.

Do we have it inside of us?

Is it alive, is it well?

Does our life show we have it?

From our heart, does it swell?

For compassion is something

when it's real people know,

That you're really there for them

no matter where they go.
