Rachel's Empathy

A raindrop falls From a sullen sky; A teardrop trickles From her tender eye; A snowdrop wakes From its bed of snows; Compassionate words From her heart flows. As wet as that rain Or this Woman’s tears, Both sound like music To angelic ears. As white as pure snow Or her words of love, Both melt pleasingly ‘Neath the feet of the Dove. A fledgling sparrow Fallen from its nest, An earthquake is felt Deep within her breast. A helpless orphan child In a basket does lie, She comes to its rescue In aid of every cry. Weak is that bird, As weak is her heart, She feels its pain Almost tear her apart. As alone as that babe She knelt and prayed Asking her Father For His loving aid.
