Mercy

An Inspirational and Uplifting Poem EVERY DAY from Simon J. Halliday!

Mercy

A woman in tears can melt your heart
How could you look away?
Or perhaps you're cynical, doubting pain
A part in someone's play

It's hard to take when someone's need
Is greater than your own
You've things to do, Life doesn't stop
The grass once more has grown

But life can change more than you know
And every day it will
If closing down might suit you best
You're welcome, take that pill

So many things are daily missed
By those who choose that path
So did you make the finest choice?
Or are you courting wrath?

Would a swan ignore her young?
Could a song remain unsung?
We must respond to need each day
And gently show there is a way

So in this world of pressure and haste
Let's take a moment amidst the waste
And make a change, with merciful mind
There's power in mercy, strength in kind
