YOU

Hidden in your heart rest patience,
a melody of forgiveness and love.

In your soul lives truth and honesty,
a fairness revealed as a gentle dove.

To the hungry, you have food to share,
to the lost, you give direction none despair.

To the weak, you lend kindness and joy,
to the lonely, you hold them within your care.

Hidden deeper are the pains, there too,
that silent teacher, which made you, you.

I really enjoyed this, especially the last two lines.

This speaks of compassion and giving, despite one's own sorrow. Very nice.
