COMPASSION

April is National Poetry Month. So to start off the month I have chosen a poem called Compassion. It is simple and sums up the essence of this blog. It is taken from Art in it's Written Form.

I keep it in my pocket in times of need.
It shows itself as an oak but was once a seed.
I used to borrow it cause I had none to give.
Without it, life is difficult to live.
I decided to be under it's authority.
In times of sorrow it gets the best of me.
These are the times I take it out,
Cheerful as I go about.
Pass it on I say,
"It's the new fashion;
to be clothed in compassion."
