of compassion are never said better than with a poem. Thanks for sharing.
Stirred some tears with this. Very nicely written, and heart-felt. I'm not fond of what they sometimes call the "didactic" tone in poems, but it wasn't overdone at all, and besides, it was honest and true. The last two lines were extremely beautiful to me. And a lovely tribute.
