There's a lot more to caring than knowing <br />There's a lot more to caring than saying <br />There's a lot more to caring than thinking <br />You can 'know' you care <br />Think you care <br />Convince yourself you care, even think that you genuinely care <br />But that really isn't fair <br />If your actions don't match <br />The attitude of caring <br />The attitude of loving <br />It's more <br /> <br />It's more than those who love you <br />More than those who care for you <br />It's the ones who don't <br />It's the ones you don't know <br />It's those, it's them, they need you most <br />You can't just walk away <br />Caring is more than something you can think about <br />You can't be compassionate and ignore a need <br />You can't fulfill every need <br />Where is compassion? <br /> <br />Where is caring? <br />If it's so much more, what is it that we have? <br />Is it worth trying? <br />Won't you fail? <br /> <br />But you forget <br />Caring is more <br /> <br />It's more than something you can intellectualize <br />It's more than a concept <br />It's more than thinking <br />More than knowing <br />More than even an action <br />Caring is a lifestyle <br />For all those around you <br />Even beyond yourself <br /> <br />O and one more thing caring isn't about caring about <br />Yourself.<br /><br />David Knox<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-more-than-something-you-can-intellectualize/
