Compassion
~ By Sue ~

I will go to work
Giving all the compassion
I feel deep inside
Putting a little pleasure
In their lives just for today

You know, I'm glad you dated the poem, Sue. My grandmother's birthday was yesterday - she is 92, and bedridden, due to several strokes over the last few years. If not for the compassion of a 24/7 nurse in her daughter's home, she would be in a nursing home.

Compassion is so important. Thank you for sharing!

When you brighten someone's day, you make the angels sing. I like the kindness that breathes in this one.

Sue, I pray that God will continue
to give you the strength you need
to care for these sweet people. They
need someone with the compassions and
love that you give to them.
Hugs to you, sweet lady, and give
them a hug for me,

Ethel

Dear Sue, you are such a beautiful compassionate soul!
Your beautiful words touch a cord deep within.
May everything you do with your heart full of love, come back to you thousandfold.
Love, Margherita
