A Gentle Touch
It's the simple things,
That matter so much.
A kind smile a hug, handshake
Or a gentle touch
Gentle is a lovely word
A word that says it all
Gentle words and gestures
Help others if they fall
There is so much in this world
That causes sorrow and grief
We all need a gentle touch
To unite and bring relief
This destructive virus
Has brought things to a head
Some of our fellow men
Have been very easily led
Believing empty promises
Given by those in Power
Not caring about the
Consequences
That worsens by the hour
Suddenly more people
Are looking closer at politicians
Nobody expects them to be
Jugglers
Or magicians
Every thinking man
Realises if we want to put things right
The thing that we must avoid
Is picking up weapons to fight
Fighting gets you nowhere
It makes a situation worse
Gentleness is needed
To remove us from this curse.
A poem I wrote a few years ago
