Empathy is Catching. Little girl steps forward.

 



Hear that the man of galilee
is on our street
villagers hear his message sweet
and crowd for healing
as he is said to give.
I want to close in
for blessing for one
of my kin.
dear gramma with that immense
goitre, chokes her.
makes children cry.
Covers it with scarf.
now he passes by; sees my crutch
thinks that I need the touch.
no Sir, not so much me
but my gramma, come and see.
Come help happily.
