What is compassion?
Do I have it?
Mot people I know would say “Yes, I do”
But do I feel that way?
I am not sure. I did once, but do I still?
I say “Good morning” sometimes, but lately it’s just a
curt “Morning”
I rarely ask “How are you?” anymore
Is that because I don’t care anymore?
Or is it something else? Time,
Not feeling I have the time for a lengthy explanation
Compassion is caring and I feel I care.
If you do not have a Home Forward voucher, call 503-225-9100
on Tuesdays 1-4 PM / Thursdays 9-12 for free screening
