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
