smiles form the channel
of a future tear
Lord Byron
the dew of compassion
is a tear
Lord Byron
the dew was heavy
this morning
the Lord's mercies
are new every morning
His compassion never fails
His compassion never fails

"Compassion is sometimes
the fatal capacity for feeling what
it is like to live inside somebody else's skin.
It is the knowledge that there can never really be
any peace and joy for me until there is
peace and joy
finally for you too."
Frederick Buechner
