Vulnerable

Do people know?
when inside your heart is breaking

Do people know?
when all you want is good

Do people know?
that you would love to love them

Do people know?
how pain can make you grow

Do people know?
that you'd love to smile at them

Do people know?
how much a harsh word can hurt

Do people know?
how much a bad look can offend

Do people know?
that we need each other more than we care to admit

Do people know?
how far kindness can go
that a smile is a huge gift
and a nice word is worth millions
Do people know?

Watch the children - they know!
