By Allison Tam
Compassion can be found
In the most surprising place
Through a subtle nod
A slight brush
A light touch
A twinkle in another's eyes
Compassion can found
In the most surprising company
From a friend who went astray
From an enemy who discounted you long ago
From an acquaintance who was far too obnoxious
From a shy classmate who never spoke a word
I once thought I knew from whom
I would receive such a gift--
The gift of compassion
To free my melancholy soul.
I once thought I knew.
My thoughts were once wrong.
Because it seems quite odd that
Compassion can be found
In the most surprising places
While lacking
In the most usual
