"Compassion is understanding to the best of your abilities what the other person is going through."

Heartprints


Whatever our hands touch---
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture,
On doorknobs, dishes, books,
As we touch we leave our identity.

Oh please where ever I go today,
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness
and genuine concern.


May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter,
Or an anxious mother,
Or, perhaps, a dear friend!


I shall go out today
To leave heartprints,
And if someone should say
"I felt your touch,"
May that one sense be...YOUR LOVE
Touching through ME.

My Heart Full of Compassion
by Aleasa

I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take the pain away.
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.
I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe your tears away.
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here and I will stand by you,
Each hill you have to climb.
So take my hand lets face the word,
Live one day at a time.
You're not alone for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile,
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile

But let me stay and take your hand

I’ll listen when you need to talk,
I’ll wipe your tears away.

I’ll help you face your fears.
I’m here and I will stand by you,
Each hill you have to climb.
So take my hand lets face the world,
Live one day at a time.
You’re not alone for I’m still here,
I’ll go that extra mile,
And when your grief is easier,
I’ll help you learn to smile

Anna, haven't I said those things to you? I know you are hurting, I told you I will always be near, what kind of friend would I be if I wasn't.. I will listen to you when you are happy, I will listen to you when you are sad, I will take all your anger when you need to vent, why will I do this?, because I am your friend, that's why..teddybear
