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.
