Compassion walks

by royowen

Compassion walks on any street,
it's moved by love, two friendly feet.
It shows no bias, judgement talk;
on any street compassion walks.

Its heart's displayed in every way,
its light will shine come night come day.
Responds to need, its grace arrayed,
in every way, its heart's displayed.

What moves its soul to bless and care,
because of grace, and grace is rare.
To godly deeds, its heart enfolds,
to bless and care, what moves its soul.

Love understands it moves in sync,
and with compassion blends and links.
For time can never soil its hands,
it moves in sync, love understands.
