Life's Adversity
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

Calmed by words of solace,

A kind soul offered to me.

There are those who share

Life's tragedy with the less fortunate.

 

In a state of anxiety

Emotions are set loose.

A kind word distracts

The harshness of the situation.

 

Let then those words flow from

Our lips to the ears who need to hear.

Let us comfort, as best we can,

Those caught in life's adversity.

Sometimes all it takes is a well-placed kind word at the right moment to diffuse an ugly situation. Peace.
