To have empathy is to draw others to you like a butterfly to honey’s nectar.

Not all are born with this compassionate gene.

An understanding emotion that when employed, a friend collector.

Tis’ a deep tragedy when one is suffering near an indifferent spectator.

Turning one’s back on another like a cold-hearted machine.

To have empathy is to draw others to you like a butterfly to honey’s nectar.

A relationship without empathy is a sandcastle without water as it's resurrector.

It will be swept out to sea the minute the tides get too mean.

An understanding emotion that when employed, a friend collector.

Does your person what to understand your woes or be a thorny ejector?

To dismiss the beating heart of empathy, sinking like an indifferent submarine.

To have empathy is to draw others to you like a butterfly to honey’s nectar.

Abstaining from understanding will not be a benevolent director.

Nurturing an empathic character is part of a healthy routine.

An understanding emotion that when employed, a friend collector.

Empathy, a powerful tool in a relationship’s sector.

To walk in other’s sandy footprints, a compassionate deed alongside life’s scene.

To have empathy is to draw others to you like a butterfly to honey’s nectar.

An understanding emotion that when employed, a friend collector.
