A Compassionate Touch

A Compassionate Touch

We're in need of, A Compassionate Touch

For those going through, so very much

So many people, truly don't understand

This knowledge must reach them, and then expand

How can you really, understand what they go through

You're not in their shoes, and they are not you

Many times you only know a part

When you do understand, you touch their heart

For someone, who's illness, is so very strong

Feeling so weak, they need your song

A touch of compassion, a listening ear

Because in their reality, they have so much to fear

Every day, has a difficult choice within

Neither choices are ones you can win

“Seeing so many Doctors, they experiment on me”

“Sometimes it backfires, but it was worth it to see”

You see, people judge without knowing the story complete

I find myself always having to repeat

Still I can't sink it into their head

So many don't get it, I turn away in frustration instead

Just remember this, you don't know everything

A better understanding, is what everyone should bring

Learn to realize, and thank you very much

To look upon each person, with a Compassionate Touch

We truly need a Compassionate Touch. People need to know

that we truly don't know what the other person has gone through.

How can we judge them, without knowing the whole story. We have

no clue of all they have gone through. Once we are knowing, then we

are growing. Let's grow together and understand them better.
