Wounded-Healers

what the world needs as of now is compassion
most of us are broken persons
we appear to be strong
but deep within each one of us
is a weeping child
who is longing for someone
who would love us
not because we are strong
but, simply because
we are alone

in the silence of the night
i heard your cries
your sob of pains
deeply touches my heart
in your loneliness
let me offer friendship
let me be your healer
yet, wounded like you

together let us be
a wounded-healer to one another
and as we grow in friendship
together let us share
the love that healed us
from being wounded to healers
and with this gift of self
together let us heal the world
with a burning compassion
with a sincere love.
