Dear You,

Empathy is around
Around us and everywhere

Empathy is flowing
Flowing through every stream

Empathy is near
Near and close to every heart

Empathy is togetherness
Togetherness we need

You and I need it to live
To understand, to compare

You and I need it to connect
To sympathize, to comfort

When we have empathy
The world is warmer

When we forget
The sky in our heads and hearts only gets stormier

The world needs us
We are humans

Humans need feelings
Feelings are emotions

Emotions need to be treated
Treated with care

The only way to care
Is to have empathy
