In the tapestry of life, where threads intertwine,
There's a truth so simple, yet profoundly divine.
To touch a heart, to change a life's story,
You need not bask in wealth or glory.

Not brilliance nor beauty, nor perfection's guise,
Can match the power of empathy's ties.
It's in the caring, the gentle act,
That alters lives, a proven fact.

In the smile shared on a dreary day,
In the listening ear, we give away.
In acts of kindness, small but sure,
Lives are touched, hearts are cured.

For in each moment of genuine care,
A soul is soothed, stripped of despair.
So remember this, in all you do,
It's the caring heart that makes the view.
