Remember to come back to the surface
Every now and then
No, not to catch a breath
But to be truly compassionate
Your empathy is higher than
The depth of your understanding
To sink in the knowledge alone
Won’t help you love your people
The way they wish to be loved
For they won’t see how well you mean
If you can’t communicate
So come back to the surface, every now and then
For them, to appreciate.
