January-March, 2015
As I feel the pain of the world I see
I realize it has come from me.
Every time I judged another’s life
I added to the pain and strife.
Every time I looked with a critical eye
I added to the collective lie.
I’ve come to know a better way
Of looking at the world today.
I ignore the mask of defense and attack
And gently refuse to give it back.
I look right through their pain and fears
And see their hearts are full of tears
From all the times they could not give
The love our spirits need to live.
I see their hurts from “others” deeds
From those supposed to meet their needs.
Then compassion fills my heart
And makes me want to do my part.
I realize I have a role
To offer love to a starving soul.
