Compassion ..........



To the one who hurt us
do we hurt back
or do we show mercy


To the one who lied to us
do we lie back
or do we lead with honor


To the one who cheated us
do we cheat back
or do we forgive


To the one who hates us
do we hate back
or do we live only with love


To the one who stole from us
do we steal back
or do we give clemency


To the one who is jealous of us
do we bathe in it
or do we uplift them


To the one who makes a mistake
do we judge them
or do we remember our own mistakes


To the one who is weak
do we walk by
or do we help them


To the one who cannot love
do we pity them
or do we show compassion


To live in a wonderful world
do we remember
we must first master ourselves
