When faced with trials
Of faith in fellow man
Think to yourself . . .
They are as I am

Their heart feels sorrow
Their soul seeks meat
Their eyes cry tears
They’ve experienced defeats

They long to laugh
To know true happiness
To move beyond suffering
To experience bliss

If you can but step
A moment into their shoes
You’ll understand much
You’ve nothing to lose

So step on over and look
See what it is their eyes see
Then step back into place
And you’ll learn how to be

Compassionate

For we all walk the same

s.a.t.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

What a wonderful message you've given in your words. How fitting is the title to this poem, Give Yourself A Gift, for that is excatly what the reader does in reading your words. Thank you for the gift in rhyme
