Compassion and Empathy You must have had a wonderful life,
husband, father, and friend.
Your family spoke of gentle times
as they "remembered when..."
And though I did not know you,
I feel I knew you well,
just seeing how they loved you
and the painful tears that fell.
I could only read the verses
from The Book beside your bed,
and I could feel the heartache
with every tear you shed.
So you see, my friend, I knew you,
much more than just your name,
and I thank you for those moments
that you let me share your pain.
