Sympathetic Pain

If we had never felt a pain How could we empathize? Would we not be less human, Lose some qualities divine, If every day were happiness, And the sun would always shine? His quality of sympathy, He wanted to make known To eyes of understanding, blind, Unless they can be shown. So, even here within this frame, This quality He shows, For if one member's wracked with pain Each other member knows. And not one member stoops To ridicule or blame, But in attempt to come to aid Each feels some of the pain.
