Compassion

com·pas·sion   [kuhm-pash-uhn]

noun

1. a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.

why can't I find it in my heart to be compassionate to you, to understand what you are going through? I feel for those you would leave behind and would do everything in my power to be with them and see them through when that time comes. But why can't I feel that for you? I'm so sorry.

Oh God, please give me the gift of compassion before its too late. Amen.
