Compassion

When I shared a tiny piece of bread,
the eyes of an unknown hungry kid,
vented the spiritual chants, the secret
way to attain the heaven's steps.

When I prayed for others,
I felt like I was nearing the God;
Revering the labours equally,
aided me to fathom the rapport.

Nothing but a benign smile,
solaces the wilting souls;
Nothing but a compassionate word,
spreads the smile across the world.
