Empathy

To feel a love so deeply,

That it shakes your very soul

Can make you feel amazing

Can make your heart feel whole

To care for those who suffer

It take a love so deep

To put yourself in their shoes

And know just why they weep

There are those who suffer silently

Who hide grief with a mask

They don't want to show their feelings

Not even when they are asked

They carry sorrow with them

All throughout their life

They soldier on with struggles

Not complaining of their strife

The soul that understands this

Can offer some solace

Can say they struggle also

Can relate to their mess

Not all can understand this

For some care not to know

The pain that others feel inside

The true depth of their woe

Empathy is important, to know how others feel

You must comprehend this, to help them finally heal

We all suffer in some way, and thus all walk this path

We must learn to love each other, or else it ends in wrath.
