WORDS of ENCOURAGEMENT
by John W Townsend → (All Poetry by John W Townsend)

How many times do we neglect the words of encouragement.

Its not patronising

false or mundane

words of encouragement

take away the pain.

For those that have a struggle

no matter what the age

the right words

at the right time

stay as hands outstreached.

We take so much

for granted

until it falls at our feet

and how we need it

when the going gets too steep,

those words of encouragement

give unseen strength

and yet they cost us

nothing not a cent

yet a million dollars

their worth

to those that struggle

unheard.

Oh yes, "words of encouragement" can and does make a difference as we grow stronger knowing someone believes in us as we do them, so endearing and uplifting...

Be always safe,
