Compassion
Plant a seed
In hard, rough ground
Tend to and water it
And wait for its roots to spread
Pushing through the rocks
Reaching down and out.
Soon it will break the surface
You will see the green leaves
Reaching for the sun
Soon it shall bloom,
If you keep watch
And care for its fragile nature
As it becomes more beautiful
And it radiates the care you gave
Others will notice,
They will see the fruit of your compassion
Then they will plant a seed
And those roots will spread again
And the world will be covered with flowers.
