Compassion

​Care with some compassion
Put their mind at ease
Alleviate the worry
Branching love out like the trees

Listen to situations
Walk some in their shoes
Empathizing and relating
Accept their personal views

You don’t need to agree
Or correct perceived mistakes
Allow connection to form with patience
Heart meld can heal heart break

And when your tank is empty
Running on fumes some days
Accept the same gift you give
Compassion works when it goes both ways

It is okay to give
Without getting in return
You will receive in time
Try releasing that concern

True strength comes in the giving
With virtue comes some joy
It feels better to contribute
Than just collecting many toys

Self love is necessary
Self regard a vital chore
Turn always to the Spirit
Gratitude wells up from your core

Compassion will propel you
Give life a helping hand
The love you give has meaning
I trust you understand
