When That Humanity Within Us Has Been Touched

When that humanity within us,
Has been touched...
It is difficult to avoid images of sorrow.
And empathy is hard to hide,
When tears begin to fall from crying eyes.

Emotions effected affect deep and stay.
And barriers between caring hearts,
Dissolve away without thought of biases held...
When that humanity within us,
Has been touched to meld as if a bond.
