Empathy From God

For each poem or anthology written, I witnessed a story and vicariously through his or her lives watched their reactions. I felt their sorrow, their pain, their joy, and their happiness. The poems were written about teachers that were successful and also about students that reached for the sky. I am a teacher who through my own experiences, hopes, and dreams inspired a select few. My strength rests in my firm belief in God. Lastly, to understand any human experience one must embrace charity. Charity is defined as Love. Love is God and God is Love. Without empathy or compassion one is hardened and cannot understand his fellow man. Its Gods mercy and grace, which inspires the inner me, to attempt to communicate the state of men's souls through the written word. This poetry is an anthology of my findings.
