Sadly, the word compassion I doubted to be true,
Because I weighed the evidence, and when I did and do,
I found that, generally, the great preponderance
Overwhelmingly showed selfishness, and less in love's defense.
But when I became ill, laboring for breath,
And thinking of my family, and feeling close to death,
I asked for help; and I confess, to my great surprise,
Help sprung out around me like a surging, rising tide,
And I, who hid so long, feeling so misunderstood,
Was lifted up to find so many to be so kind and good.
