MAGICAL MARCH ABRACADABRA

The Magic of Words

A poem

A wand of empathetic words, we wave And in a magical instant, a life is saved A wand of loving words, we wield And Abracadabra! A heart is healed

Compassionate words, like drops of rain Soothe a parched soul, and ease their pain They bring warmth to even the coldest heart Their hope revives to make a fresh start

When bridges to love have collapsed Words of kindness bridge the gap When two souls have been torn apart Kind words mend them into works of art

With just a few words, spoken with care We can lift those suffering in despair We can mend bonds that have been broken By vulnerably speaking, what was once unspoken

With compassionate words, we can build a world Where kindness reigns and love unfurls Where empathy is the guiding force Of words that bring comfort and support

We can use words to spread the power of compassion And build a world filled with love and passion Words that are spoken from a humble place that imparts to the listener, empathy and grace
