Reach Out With Kindness

I know the power of a kind word
When feeling isolated or alone
To know someone is there for you
You are no longer on your own

Feeling victimised or vulnerable
Judged or dismissed
Ignored , mistreated
Invisible …..like you do not exist

The power behind a kind word or gesture
Is somewhat underrated 
It has the strength to move mountains
Its human connection and worth understated

Nice poem, I can remember instances of just a few, well-timed, kind words, multiple decades later.

I agree, Deb, a kind word can make all the difference to a person that needs a kind word at that moment. At times, you've been that kind word for me, my dear friend. Big ol' Texas hug, Bill

The power of a kind word when you are feeling isolated or alone means everything to you, and the power of the pen, inspires you to write about it. Beautiful, sincere write, Deb, Thanks for all your comments, so sweet of you. Hugs and blesings.
