The Magic of Empathy
The Art of Caring
I see the world through other's eyes
Their joys, their sorrows, their surprise
The colours, shapes, and shadows too
All seen through lenses, not my own view
I hear their laughter, their cries, and their fears
Their voices, music to my ears
Their stories, told in whispered tones
All resonating with my bones
I touch their pain, their hurt, and their woes
Their tears, my fingers feel the flows
Their joys, their triumphs, their delights
All shared with me in loving sights
I taste their food, their culture, their way
Their spices, flavours, everyday
Their meals, their drinks, their life's blood
All savoured and cherished like a flood
I smell their scents, their perfumes, and their musk
Their odours, aromas, their sense of dusk
Their cities, their towns, their countryside
All experienced like a magic ride
Empathy is the key to life
The glue that holds us without strife
The art of walking in someone's shoes
The act of loving without any clues
So let us engage in empathy's dance
And give each other a loving chance
To see, hear, touch, taste, and smell
And understand each other, oh so well.
