A Kindly Word
A kindly word
falls as the morning dew,
Bringing refreshment to a thirsty soul.
It starts a fountainhead of hope anew,
And multiplies its strength of a thousand-fold.
An unkind word
is as an arrow sent;
Its only purpose is to sting and mar
And once its piercing poison has been spent,
It leaves its awful mark, and ugly scar.
-- Sybil
Leonard Armes
