'More Than Words Of Affirmation' Poem by Linda Winchell

There's more accomplised with words of affirmation
when you tell someone, ' they look great! '
Don't hold back what can bring someone joy
just say it before it, becomes too late!

Just tell them that they look great today!
Or, 'did you do something different with your hair? '
Show them that your paying attention to details
and that someone who's noticed, really cares.

There is so much more in the words we speak
some, yes hurtful and unkind.
But just one word of affirmation spoken
can turn back ones hands, of disapointments time.

Affirmation can place a bounce in ones step!
It may give them a vision of, much needed hope.
It may also bring them closer to God
in the words of affirmation that you spoke.
