Weaving gratitude and empathy

In my new home, I sit alone,
Guilt washes over, a sorrowful moan.
A beautiful house, abundance surrounds,
But memories of struggle, my heart confounds.
Dreams once mere whispers, now brought to life,
Yet sharing my joy, I fear will cause strife.
For friends and family, in dire despair,
My happiness, their burden, I cannot bear.
Embarrassed to show the excitement within,
Gratitude hidden, my emotions held in.
I ache for the ones with so little to spare,
Their plight grips my soul, a burden I wear.
Is it wrong to revel, to feel so blessed,
When others endure hardships, they can't divest?
Each carefree moment, a battle I fight,
Haunted by shadows of others' plight.
Yet amidst this struggle, a truth unfolds,
My heart is torn, but gratitude still holds.
I understand their pain, their struggles and strife,
With empathy and love, I share their life.
In this heart-wrenching journey, I've come to see,
The gift of compassion, the power to be free.
Though my blessings are vast, my soul is aware,
Of others' hardships, a burden we bear.
So I'll cherish my blessings, and with love impart,
To lift others up, to mend every heart.
In this tapestry of life, intertwined we'll be,
With compassion and love, we'll set spirits free
