The Right Word

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.
