Wishes of Hope
I wish, first, for the gift of listening
Not merely to hear the words, but to feel them
To feel the meaning and emotion behind them
To listen with your heart
I wish for the ability to impart peace and healing with touch
To calm their pain, to ease their worry
To give others the gift of tranquility
With only a touch on the shoulder or an embrace
Lastly, to think before words leave our mouths
The reasons behind the words we choose
To understand the consequences of our choice
To stop hurtful words before they wound
