Sharing Humanity

Be gentle with hearts that beat like yours,
For though you see the surface, you know not the forces,
That shape their lives, their joys, their fears,
The silent struggles, the hidden tears.

Listen with care, with ears that hear,
The whispers of their soul, the heartbeat that's sincere,
For in their story, you'll find a part of your own,
A shared humanity that makes us whole.

So let kindness guide your words and deeds,
And gentle understanding be the seed,
That blooms into compassion, pure and true,
A love that heals, a heart that's anew.
