Sympathy

Strange is this emotion 

When for others you feel, 

It's compassion 

But then look look at you

It's like a mockery of the situation

Sometimes it is a gesture of love 

Other times makes you feel low 

Although it conveys the message 

Besides you, I'm there through thick & thin 

It also depicts the find you worth nothing

Comfort it does give during your time worst 

Making your heart feel really secure 

Many times it just adds to your fear

Fuelling your self-doubt and quelling hope's feeble flicker.

Sympathy may reek of pity, that's hard to bear...!!

He never knew that I had lost my sight,

He loved my nature, not my face bright.

Till one day my handicap was no longer viewed,

That was the day I had faith in Him renewed.

What all can love to do to us?

Well, that is better left for one to guess.

He did not love me out of *sympathy*,

He loved me out of empathy.

I went from strength to strength,

I had his backing the whole length.

Many have sight, but few have vision.

Maybe that is why God made me his passion.
