Compassion Poems

Poems about Compassion and Empathy

When we feel strong and well, it is easy to forget about our own frailties and also the misfortunes, troubles, and sicknesses of others. We are only as strong as is our compassion for those who are weak. For in strength must come the power of understanding and the wisdom to act with gentleness and kind concern for those who are not able to help themselves. It is in the ability to empathize that we show true insight and in the ability to aid that we show our real gifts. These are the real hallmarks of true compassion and strength.

Not in creed, in colour or name.

Caring And Kindness

Be kind and caring in all that you do
Because no one knows what another goes through.

Poem Thanking Doctors And Nurses

Have you seen the doctors who hardly get to sleep?
From sad weary eyes, silent tears they weep.

Yet see so many dying right before their eyes.

Where someone would think you were heaven sent

Have You Earned Your Tomorrow

Is anybody happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?
This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through;
Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?
