Others Pain

Happy is the heart whom can ease another's pain,

Joyousness it brings to see them smile again,

Brightly shines the star that can lend another light,

To lead some weary lost soul out of their darkest night,

Sweetly sound the songs when sung in harmony,

Release another's shackles to set their spirit free,

Gentle is the friend who takes another's hand,

Leading them to safety away from barren lands,

Compassionate the ear that hears another's cry,

Forsaking of self comfort when spectres phantoms nigh,

Beauteous is the one to aspire without name,

Repair another's self esteem teach them to love again,

Wondrous is the "man" who can do so without cost,

Guide another's wanderings when all about are lost,

Wisdom rules the minds of beings such as these,

Taking broken hearts and heads, making them at ease.

Blessed are the ones these wonders to perform,

Unsung anonymity brings with it such sweet warmth.
