Speak Healing Words Wisely Softly With Wisdom Poem by Terence George Craddock

speak the words softly
speak the words wisely
speak the words with wisdom
speak the words if the heart broken soul can listen

write the words with love
write the words with kindness
write the words with compassion
write the words if the heart broken soul can read them

walk with silence
walk with sympathy
walk with heart felt empathy
walk with the heart broken soul when it is time to walk

it takes time to address a healing need
it takes a deliberately long time if the need is great
it takes time a long time if the need is huge
it takes time a long time if the need is devastatingly painful

it takes time a long time
if the need is devastatingly painful
with wide reaching interconnected influences
avoid those who believe it is easy to lance deep devastating pain
