Sympathy - A motivational poem

About the poem :- Sympathy is a quality of God. We should not be indifferent towards the sufferings of other people. Money is great but far greater than money is sympathy . If somebody helps us with money, we can pay back his money is due course. But The service done to us in sympathy cannot be paid back.

Sympathy

I lay in sorrow, deep distresses;

My grief a proud man heard;

His looks were cold, he gave me gold,

But not a kindly word.

My sorrow passed-I paid him back

The gold he gave to me;

Then stood erect and spoke my thanks

And blessed his charity.

A lay in want, and grief and pain;

A poor man passed my way;

He bound my head, he gave me bread,

He watched me night and day.

How shall I pay him back again

For all he did to me ?

Oh, gold is great, but greater far

is heavenly sympathy.
