Thanks!!
I wrote this poem for my daughter when she was seven and going through some very traumatic happenings. I am pleased that it meant something to others as well.

so beautiful and touching
Shedding tears for the
Suffering of others
And none for herself.

Shouldn't we all aspire to the innocent compassion of children?
I like how the poem mixes the magical childhood with the reality to the world's sufferings. Interesting blend!

Shedding tears for others is a sign of maturity and God blesses such souls.
