Tom Wright Poet Limerick

Empathizing

Empathizing 
Miracle Man
5/4/2024

We can’t feel some other’s pain but we can empathize,
we search our heart’s for comforting words to verbalize.
Pain we can’t feel,
To them, is so real,
their need is words of comfort, not someone to advise.

Natasha L Scragg May 4, 2024 at 1:59 PM Very true Tom. Sometimes, all person wants is to feel understood. A listening ear. Or even a hug. Such a nice reminder in your Limerick.

Kim Rodrigues May 4, 2024 at 9:07 AM When we ourselves have pain we then realize others don’t feel our pain, so then we learn to empathisize when we are well. A big lesson is that you may be suffering but guess what, everyone has some measure of suffering. We need to support one another. Blessings ~ Kim
