Have you ever noticed
How a soft word brings a smile...
How kindness of expression
Seeks to "go the second mile"?
Even though the words we hear
May not be very pleasant.
Kindness and a soft approach
Will show that love is present.
A smile can show acceptance
And encourage one who's down.
Gentle words can heal
And erase another's frown.
This may not be easy
If the other won't "relate",
And yet it's really worth a try...
You'll find that the rewards are great!
"A soft answer turneth away wrath....."
Proverbs 15:1 KJV
"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver."
Proverbs 25:11 KJV
