About You As A Person Poem by Francis Duggan

Though your house of worship to your God you visit to pray
About you as a person this nothing does say
And though this may win you the respect of the religious kind
You are only as good as the person you are in your mind
For those doing it tough do you feel sympathy
They have a rare gift those blessed with empathy
The religious inclined the admiration of the majority may win
But those with compassion and empathy nurture their God within
It is not how to others that you seem to be
It is the deeper side of you that others does not see
You may not be religious but you plant Karma's good seed
When you come to the aid of one of your help in need
And since you are compassionate and caring and kind
You have the God within living in your mind.
