Compassion

Compassion
by Bernard Howe

What makes us feel so nice,
and everything feels so right?
Remember when we get some praise,
and it fills us with delight.

When someone showers us with love
or treats us gentle and kind.
To the troubles of our daily life
this will often make us blind.

If everyone would show more kindness
and practice it every day.
There is no telling what would happen
if we would be careful of what we say.

A smile will go a long way towards,
making someone feel at ease.
Another simple little thing
is to always use the word please.

And Thank you is another word
that lets people know you care.
Every little deed like these
does not go unaware.

Lets try to make the world
a better place to live within.
Those who show love for one another
usually don't live with any sin.

I believe that each of the women at CFL has found compassion through the relationships that they have made with Mrs. Carolyn. She has given them hope again and gotten them back on their feet. Her compassion has made an impact and ever-lasting bond with the ladies who come to her.
