Understanding Most folk are blessed with different traits Which help them settle most disputes, But the ability to understand Is high among our attributes. To see beyond what’s plain to see With our daily problems expanding, To have the knowledge and ability To reach an understanding. A soothing word to a crying child Or a kiss, as circumstance demand, A sympathetic ear to show we care And the fact we understand. Strength to overcome our daily woes That should always be our theme, For our ability to understand Is an attribute supreme. One’s compassion to shed a timely tear When bereavement brings distress, Then a kindly word, a helping hand Our understanding to express. The weight of years extend our need Of a willingness to lend a hand, I’m sure an epitaph we’d like to see. Is that we were quick to understand. |

Oh, for a perfect world! If we used our minds more instead of our eyes we would all understand. Compassion from the heart, understanding from the mind, and from the hands a healing touch of both of them combined. Good thoughts into words, Lindsay! |

To be truly compassionate, one has to care enough to be observant and to be "understanding". Wise words from a wise man ~ and poet.  Loving hug, Linda P.S. I will let you know when your book arrives! I eagerly await its arrival! |
