Kind words don’t come easy, <br />How well I do know; <br />For how often have I <br />Rehearsed each word in my mind, <br />So that each would be said <br />At the appropriate time. <br />Words can be like sunshine; <br />Words can be like dew, <br />So that flowers of friendship <br />Will blossom for you; <br />But words never spoken <br />Are words never heard. <br />Don’t say she should know <br />If you’ve said not a word. <br />Those words are like presents; <br />They show that you care; <br />And even their memory <br />Can ward off despair.<br /><br />Adeline Foster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kind-words-4/
