Notes About The Poem

Spare a Few Kinds Words For Me

spare a few kind words for me
open the treasure chest of your heart
draw deep
let a few kind words
drop from your lips
into my outstretched and empty heart
Ahhh...let me hear the blessed sound
of falling feelings of friendship filling me

Spare a few kind words for me
I am on the street of solitude
crushed and in need
my emotions bleed
from a life that's unkind
and everywhere I go
my impoverished state shows
you haven't been where I've been
you haven't seen what I've seen
Spare a few kind words for me

It will not make you the poorer
for your gracious gift of giving
will garner a smile
bracketed in happy tears
kindness induced 
kindness released
Freed...

Spare a few kind words for me
And in the sparing
you will be enriched
exponentially....

Richard D Seal March 2, 2016 at 6:29 PM I guess there are times we all need a few kind words to keep us going. it's a tough old world and it's easy to be taken for granted, even forgotten but know that you are appreciated as a friend. Take care, Richard
