Communication

Communication has a vital part.

It touches every person’s heart.

If one would only try to see

how critical it can be.

If one would think before they spoke–

If one would laugh or tell a joke–

If one would lend a listening ear

or speak words of comfort or cheer–

If one would go the extra mile

to dry a tear or crack a smile–

what a difference it could make

to help a burden dissipate. 

If one could touch a heart or soul

they might help to make it whole.

If one would offer a helping hand–

If one would help a crippled one stand–

then others might begin to see

How vital communication can be.

If one would give a hat or glove

to meet a need with a gift of love–

then one might understand, at least in part,

communication’s impact on the human heart.
