“A few kind words, was all he needed,”
Exclaimed the doctor, as his patient breathed his last
“Have we become so inhumane?
“Are we so insensitive,” My mind promptly asked
Lost in labyrinth of my life,
Was I concerned about other’s life? I mused
Not everyone needs a share of our wealth
All someone might expect- a few kind words
The wounds and scars- time may heal
What can nurse right now, it’s our empathy
Life’s a struggle- for me as well for them
Waves that drowned my boat, could’ve sunk their ship too
Our words might mean a world to someone
Our generosity may lift someone’s fragmented spirits
Racing with time, we drifted from our core
Gratitude, sympathy, benevolence- swapped with avarice
I know it’s too late, but still there’s hope and time,
To rise above own worries and understand others’ grieves
Care and concern can transform someone’s life
Compassion- the only way to express gratitude to Him!
