Divine Compassion Poem by Tan Pratonix

Divine Compassion

Rating: 4.5


Divine compassion will reach out
And touch the lonely bier
And bring to life the widow's son
And wipe away her tears;
Will grasp the young girl by the hand
And say, 'Little lamb, arise! '
And the child leaps up from her bed
To her parents' great surprise.

Divine love will embrace
Little children in its arms,
As a hen covers her chicks
Under feathers soft and warm;
Divine compassion
In those nail-pierced hands
Laid on a poor bent-up woman
Made her stand
Erect and at ease,
And praise the God of mercy
For her miraculous release.

Tan, Yes, Christ's compassion is so like God to give to we feeble human beings. This world is where our Lord chooses to show Himself in the midst of pain, heartache and every other form of evil. Compassion is so divine in it's truest form. Wonderful poem. I loved it! Blessings in this adventure of finding daily revelations (the Way, the Truth, and the Life) Kathy

This divine love, that presence that is never an absence, if we just open up for it, it will change everyone's world forever It moves hearts, it moves souls. You have written here a wonderful poem on one of the most fantastic topics in the world.

Whilst I am not religious myself, I think this is a beautiful poem with fine rhythms. It expresses a profound hope which I admire too.
