L Milton Hankins Poet Quatrain

Confirmation

One of the best things to do when someone is reeling
Take time to acknowledge how they are feeling,
Let them know you are confirming their hurt
And doing your best to bring some comfort.

L Milton Hankins November 30, 2021 at 9:53 PM Indeed. Many a tear can be wiped away with an acknowledgement of the hurt.

Bill Baker November 30, 2021 at 2:45 PM Sometimes people just need people. Just a presence can encourage a healing. Well written Milt. Your friend, Bill L Milton Hankins November 30, 2021 at 3:06 PM I think so, Bill. Unfortunately in this day and time's chaos, it's often difficult to find a good listener.
