There is a Gift That You May Give

There is a gift that you may give:
It's deep within your soul.
It is the one thing all man needs
In order to be whole.
It springs from love within your heart:
You feel it deep inside.
Compassion is that special gift;
In you, it does abide.
The race of man cries in his pain;
Each one can hear the cry.
In answer to his humble plea,
Please open wide your eye,
And see his need, that deepest need,
For what his heart still seeks.
When you allow your soul to move,
Then your compassion speaks.
Compassion is that unique grace
That you'll need someday too.
Oh share the gift, that you may give
And some may share with you.

Poetry is a gift of love that is given to you to share with others!

What you choose to do with it is entirely up to you!

Why not share your poetry with others that they might know your love and feel your compassion?
