Compassion Has Gracious Eyes

No matter that we've never met, Compassion radiates from afar. Rippling outward, gathering strength, Expanding across the oceans wide. A warm light like a rising sun, Gently touches grieving hearts. Distant strangers, I empathize. Compassion has gracious eyes For your sorrows and your tears. With time, may it soften grieving pains.
