REBIRTH by MARGARET E. BRUNER

First Line: SOMETIMES WE GO OUR WAY CAREFREE
Last Line: WHO SUFFER HERE ON EARTH.

Sometimes we go our way carefree;
No trouble comes to mar
The routine of our lives, and we
Forget there is a scar
Or wound in other lives, till pain
Descends on someone near
To us, and then our hearts regain
Lost kindliness; we hear
With understanding of the woes
Of others -- a rebirth
Comes, and we feel for all of those
Who suffer here on earth.
