Com-passion is a meaningful word... sharing the same passion the same suffering the same agony accepting in my heart the misery in yours, oh, my sisters and you ~ accepting me. Oh yes, there is fear but even more deeply there is the insistent cry from the entrails of the suffering one that calls me forth... some faint feeling of confidence that my smile my presence has value and can give hope.. thus deep friendship is born mutual presence humble and forgiving engendering quiet joy. |

"some faint feeling of confidence that my smile my presence has value and can give hope.." That smile always shows itself within your words, Nancy |

"Compassion" ~ eloquently expressed by a poetess who truly knows the meaning of the word.  Those who know you as a "friend" as very fortunate, indeed! Love & Light, Linda |

It is always a treasured moment when we find that bond with a person where we are the only one who can let them know they are really heard and listened to. Hugs KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Truly a treasure, Nancy. There is way too little compassion in this world of ours and it was good to read of yours. hugs, Marti In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. |

Nancy Lee you nailed the only feeling that can move mountains that is for sure Only one other time did I read a poem about compassion, that was written by a friend from an old site I used to post at that made tear up, and I wanted to show it to you. Both you ladies do compassion proud. Katherine Chandler posted her for a bit as Pout Princess, but then went back home to her favorite site. Here is hers for you to read.http://thestarlitecafe.com/poems/31/poem_280001708.html Sincerely loved yours enough to keep it in my album with hers, and will treasure both. |

Wings of healing come with compassion and the value of a true sister. Great tenderness of heart shines in this poem Enchantress! Beautiful. It is nice to meet you here on PIP. I appreciate you taking time to read my entrance poem. I see you are very active here. It's taking a little time to learn how to move around the site. ~ Karen ~ |
