Compassion



My Whole life changed,
I became silent.
All my rage,
turned into ashes of calmness.

Many met me,
some stayed with me,
some left me alone,
But I thank them all.

But There's one person in our life,
Who come with no idea,
Who comforts us,
And fill our life with 'Compassion'.

Bad days may come again,
But it will come,
And will comfort us again,
With 'Calmness'.

It will make us happy,
And will sing,
The song of 'Merriness'.
With love.

But some things will never last,
Knowing it will disappear,
The person who stayed with us, comforted us,
Will go away like the end of an arc,
Of our life.

But farewell will be with happiness on lips,
Hiding the tears of departures.
It will be the last time,
To repay the debts of compassion....
