Rhymed Reflections
What does the vision of compassionate care require?
Persons/groups/communities who TO SERVING HUMANKIND aspire
What does the mission of compassionate care entail?
That on tranquil, peace sustaining waters compassionate caretakers sail
What does the compassionate care approach emphasize?
That loving one`s neighbor Humankind should always recognize
What good for Humankind does Compassionate Care enhance?
A health-focused Spirituality in every community to advance
