Be Sensitive

Show compassion for what your friends need.
Be patient when your child learns to read.
When they have fears, listen to them cry
And when struggling to find their way, tell them to try.

Be aware when a friend needs to heal.
Try to understand how they feel.
Forgive them when they do you wrong.
Help them feel God's love and be strong.

Do not judge your friend's mental scars.
Everyone fights physical wars.
Pray to know the right words to say.
Give your friend hope so they won't go astray.

Open your heart, accept their weaknesses too.
Care about them, value the great things they do.
Show and tell them your love is true.
Try to feel what they are going through.
