Compassion

 

by Barbara Tremblay Cipak, Copyright

 

To the one who hurt us
do we hurt back
or do we show mercy
To the one who lied to us
do we lie back
or do we lead with honor
To the one who cheated us
do we cheat back
or do we forgive
To the one who hates us
do we hate back
or do we live only with love
To the one who stole from us
do we steal back
or do we give clemency
To the one who is jealous of us
do we bathe in it
or do we uplift them
To the one who makes a mistake
do we judge them
or do we remember our own mistakes
To the one who is weak
do we walk by
or do we help them
To the one who cannot love
do we pity them
or do we show compassion
To live in a wonderful world
do we remember
we must first master ourselves

A Riddle- What Are They? 

Can You Solve This One?

Can you Figure this one out?
HINT: The Answer is in the Poem

We can make them without trying
We own it without buying
We accumulate thousands in a lifetime
They don't cost a dime
Yours are Yours
And Mine are Mine

I made this video, when I was sad. It is not extraordinary, but maybe it makes you happy...maybe.

Here is a great quiz tribute to Greg Mortenson, a truly copassionate being. He's a lesson to all of us.

Credit Where Credit is Due 

Everyone should get their "Kudoos".

Eventhough, in some cases, it isn't necessary to indicate where a photo, or a piece of art, was acquired, because it's "free stock", I still like to credit the artist.

As a Poet and Lyricist, I feel that's the least I can do.

So below are links from Art or other items on this page that don't have a link directly beside it.

Note: Some Photos in various webpages of mine, I have purchased the right to use.
Stockxpert.com
The photo of the two hands above is a photo I paid to use from Stockxpert.com. As a courtesy to the artist, I have provided a link to them directly at Stockxpert.com.

About Brite-Ideas

Hi, my name is Barbara Cipak. Since I was eight years old I have been writing poetry and song lyrics. Not that long ago I decided to utilize my Marketing knowledge from my 20 years of past experience in real estate to pursue my inner most passion - writing poetry and song lyrics, (and Riddles! lol, so it turns out!).

Drageda.com, is an acronym for "Dreams Really Are Granted Every Day Abundantly". Interestingly, the topic of a poem can easily be reflected in any product or service. Products, Services, Books, Art, Posters, and so much more are accessible while you're reading an Original Poem, and purely the choice of the reader to pursue. Some pages have been created where I haven't equated a poem to the products. Those pages are strictly for products or services I have an interest in marketing and/or feel relate to this site - "any dream product". Also, since Art is a great interest to me, you'll find many pages related to posters, art or prints.

The poetry and song lyrics I've written reflect a multitude of emotions. Viewing the human condition through poetry and song is often a fun and rewarding experience. Many times we find a life experience of our own painted in Poem or Song. The picture of our life in words, unexpectedly brought to us without warning, can be a gift that brings a smile or a tear. It's my pleasure to bring you the power of poetic words. More importantly, I'm truly honored that you've taken the time to read my work.

An Interesting "Drageda" tidbit...
Did you know you can type the word "drageda" by only using your left hand (when typing in the proper typing method of two hands on the correct keys, on the keyboard). Try it: "drageda"...strictly a left hand word.
