Analysis of Empathy
With broken heart, I'll do my part
To help the kids in pain;
Those who confide and those who hide
The sorrow not so plain.
The mental kind is hard to find,
But when I do, I'll try
To put to rest what has depressed
Enough for them to cry.
I empathize and realize
What they are going through.
I once was there when no one cared
And hopes were very few!
With much at stake, adults must make
The effort to relieve
Their doubt and fear throughout the year
And help each one believe!
