Soft Skills

Kind words are so very soft
We want to hear them so oft
They erase niggling old scars
So very soft, kind words are

Soul loves a healing touch
Grateful forever it's as such
Inner poisons it so removes
A healing touch, soul loves

You must pass a loving smile
Show bright canvas on an aisle
It reflects your grace and class
A loving smile you must pass

Soft skills we all must learn
Let no ashes remain in urn
Though muscle power thrills
We all must learn soft skills
