Heart In Need

A heart that feels broken May seem to man, lightly But to the sole recipient Completely and rightly Cautious be your words Speak not out of turn The broken hearted hearer Is apt to crash and burn Instead perhaps a hug For the one you hold dear A shoulder lent to cry on Your love for them made clear A silent word of prayer For this shattered soul do plead Hold your judgment silent Let the Master meet the need

And so we live another day to wonder how we'll find our way. It helps to know we're not alone. As we sit waiting by the phone. A prayer, a smile, a glint of style. Will make you rise above denile. It's friendly gestures sewn in kind. That truly helps to ease the mind.
