Compassion by Emily Braune (Year 6)
This story that I am about to tell
Is about two people called Harry and Belle,
It shows what it’s like to be in other people’s shoes,
Empathy is the one to choose
When Belle is sitting all alone
And Harry is with his friends,
He notices her with tears in her eyes,
Harry knows Belle doesn’t pretend.
He feels her sorrow and her pain
And asks her what’s the issue
She tells him her tale with a quivering voice
Whist dabbing her eye with a tissue.
His voice is warm and tender
It puts her at her ease,
Harry’s arm is around Belle’s shoulder
He gives her a compassionate squeeze.
I hope you’ll see from my caring tale
That the role of the friend is clear
to provide love, support and sympathy
At times of greatest fear.
Didn’t you know! Compassion is the new fashion!
Wow, really impressive Emily. Well done!
