Compassion And Empathy

They have so much in common compassion and empathy And those who do possess them are blessed 'twould seem to me For these are rare enough gifts in the Human World of today Where many are poor and homeless and in life have lost their way Those with empathy and compassion in words never put others down And you never will find them amongst the judgemental of the town They feel for the suffering of others more of their type we do need For their kindness and generosity of spirit as good people they do succeed Those with empathy and compassion always helping people in poverty They help the homeless and the destitute and they help the refugee If everyone were like them there would not be poverty and crime And war that cause death and suffering would be of another time But not everyone is like them which does seem sad to say So for those with compassion and empathy let us hear the loud hooray.
