An appropriate word at the appropriate time is like beautiful music.
It's the feel of sunshine on a chilled face after a long rain.
It's a soothing massage that alleviates pain and relieves stress.
It's the warmth of a meal after hard winter's work;
a consoling embrace to someone who's been hurt.
This is the power of language: It heals.
It touches and causes the callous to feel again.
It draws laughter from sorrow and builds hopeful tomorrows -
restoring good will and cheer to the heart in despair.
An appropriate word is a gift that uplifts the downtrodden
like a pat on the back or a kiss of gratitude.
It edifies every last one who receives it
while building the characters of those who would speak it.
An appropriate word is always sincere; its intentions are clear:
To mend wounds and repair broken spirits.
Its value is limitless, but cost nothing to give.
It's the power each has to improve how each lives.
