Compassion

 


Entitlement is not

a happy state of the heart.
Those who are whole
desire to do their part  -
they are fed by what they give -
to be a giver is to live

Compassion feeds the soul
and saves us
from swallowing the shadowed insult
of someone's expectation to be served.
They may be arrogant, disparaging, insensitive  -
compassion makes us whole.
