Increase in Empathy

M.A.D. Works

In a world where chaos seems to reign,
Let’s sow the seeds, let go of the pain.
If we increase our empathy, just a little more,
We’ll find the peace we’ve longed for at our core.

With open hearts and listening ears,
We can soften the violence, diminish the fears.
Each act of kindness, a light shining bright,
Bringing us closer, erasing the night.

So let us embrace the love that we share,
For when we are united, we lighten the air.
Increase your empathy, let compassion be known,
And watch as tranquility flourishes and grows.

In Caring for Myself

M.A.D. Works
Three Things Challenge #MM56

Your three words today are:
WORRY
CONCERN
CARING

In shadows deep, my worry grows,
A seed that whispers, never slows.
With every thought, my heart will churn,
As I watch the world, my spirit yearn.

Each concern of others, I hold so tight,
Their burdens heavy, I feel the weight of night.
In my caring heart, I lose my way,
Forgotten self, in the fray of day.

I tend to their needs, their sorrows I share,
But in the mirror, I find no care.
With gentle hands, I must learn to mend,
To hold my own heart, to be my own friend.

So I’ll breathe deep and let worries part,
For in caring for me, I’ll heal my heart.
With balance found, I’ll rise anew,
In caring for myself, I’ll be strong for you.
