War-Free World and Peace Woven in Compassion: A Poem

War-Free World and Peace Woven in Compassion: A Poem

The Buddha said, a peaceful mind,

Comes from compassion, you will find.

Like a seed, it's deep inside,

Needs care and love, to be your guide.

Feel for others, share their pain,

Again, again, and then again.

Until it's how you truly see,

A caring heart, eternally.

Care for yourself, then outward flow,

Help others blossom, help them grow.

End suffering, break the chain,

Of conflict, division, hate, and pain.

Care sincerely, be aware,

A loving heart is everywhere.

If you want others to find peace,

Let compassion never cease.

Compassion honed, a world so bright,

No more wars' gloom, only light.

A peaceful world, a gentle hand,

Spread compassion through the land.
