She is Empathy

Empathy lends a heart opened wide,

She's a quiet presence that sits by your side.

She listens in silence,  she hears what you can’t say,

She reaches out gently when words drift away.

She's the warmth in a smile, the pause in the rain,

The comfort she brings, is worth all the pain.

She's a mirror reflecting what lies deep inside,

She’s a bridge that connects us, no need to hide.

She carries our burdens that aren’t ours to bear,

And offers strength with a simple, “I care.”

Empathy grows where judgment lacks,

She walks in your shoes, she smooths the cracks.

Life should be sewn with empathy’s thread,

To mend the broken, to end the dread.

So let empathy lead, let it be our guide,

In a world that feels lonely, let her walk by our side.

For a world woven with compassion and grace,

Is a world where empathy finds her true place.
