Empathy
Do we ever know another's pain
Unless we stop to try
To be there for a little while
And listen while they cry
A cry from deep within the soul
Just waiting to be heard
By someone with a willing heart
Who really, really cared.
Just step a moment in their shoes
It's a scary place to be
But if were blind to other's
It's the only way to see
About this poem
It is about understanding another's pain
