"There are things the poor prize more highly than gold,
though they cost the donor nothing.
Among these are the kind word,
the gentle, compassionate look,
and the patient hearing of their sorrows."

The Circle of Mercy was uplifting and joy-filled!
Do you post the lyrics somewhere or is there a copy of the song someplace? Wonderful!
