Empathy

Someone once said, empathy is the key Do people you know, have empathy to see? I have known those who sadly have none Then, I find others that do, who shine like the sun Gestures of care, so simple and true Genuine as the baby bird that flew Gracious to know that someone does care An arriving surprise in a day, as a flare Bright enough to see, by all who are aware Heidi Sands 9/23/17

Thank you Vijay. It is amazing when paying attention, some people can act nice, but when it comes down to it, they can lack 'empathy'. True genuine care is about empathy. :)
