Love Poem: Empathy

Empathy

Empathy 

What ever happened to empathy? 
When someone feels the stress
Showing love and understanding
For those who have much less
Compassion it seems has had its day
In this world of selfishness
“Me first” has taken hold
…. It’s time to reassess

A helping hand for those in need
Giving it readily
Showing others that they matter
With a little charity
Never judging with a single glance
Disrespectfully  
But stop and think… that could be me
And show some empathy
