Comprehending Compassion
You’re older man sat alone. his bicycle at his side
Him I have never known as to work I was in stride
I said have a good day he said it’s hard with this MRI
I said that I would pray as I continued to walk on by
And just as I was looking back his eyes opened up wide
A faith that he may lack as we both seemed to confide
As in to the hospital I went as I cook there all day long
Many prayers that day were sent that he will be strong
As just the other day a young woman came hurriedly in
Often elderly make their way with often a sad sullen grin
I pray for many of them also, my own Blessings now seen
Just to let them know even if they don’t know what I mean
For you cannot know the power of even one single prayer
With chances God will shower, God who is ultimately fair
So don’t you miss out in often praying at each opportunity
Perhaps it might even end your doubt in now looking you cansee
