Compassion

 

So, what do you have to say?

Is anybody happier because of you today?

Another day almost through,

Did you utter kindly words a few?

How many cheerful greetings did you pass on?

Ever shared across your favorite song?

Lent an ear to someone in need?

Who in turn would pass on the deed.

Be kind and caring in all that you do.

Because no one knows what another goes through.

Do it today and repeat tomorrow.

Help this way, to eliminate sorrow.

The seeds of your compassion, once planted,

Can never be ignored or taken for granted,

Open your heart day after day,

Earn your tomorrow by the work you did today.
