It's a lingering mystery What people are going through. Everyday, we meet wounded, fragile souls Who conceal sadness with smiles. They've wrapped barricades around their glass hearts, Stamped with a "No Tresspass" sign. If we're patient enough, They'll let us through with time. With gentle hearts And mindful eyes, We watch out, reach out And touch these broken and wounded folks. We let them know they're not invisible, That we see them, and hear them; We show them that we care. Just one big hug is enough To lift their despondent spirits And usher in bright rays of sunshine Into their gloomy existence. We meet so many With bleeding wounds we'll never see Without delving much deeper. There's nothing wrong with asking "Are you okay?"... To excavate deeply buried catharsis, To release withheld floodgates of pain. With gentle hearts And mindful eyes, We take care of ourselves And one another.
