The Power of the Compliment
A whisper light as morning air,
A kindness given unaware,
A spark that lifts a weary soul,
A thread that mends, restores the whole.
With just a word—a simple phrase—
The darkest night ignites with blaze.
The Lift of Light
A compliment, so pure, so bright,
Can turn the gray to golden light.
A hesitant heart, unsure, confined,
Now soars as warmth and love entwine.
A child who doubts their worth, their way,
Is changed by words that brightly say:
"You're strong, you're kind, you're meant to shine—"
A gift of truth, a tie divine.
The artist, weary, drained, undone,
Sees no worth in what they’ve spun,
Until a voice, sincere, affirms:
"Your hands weave dreams, your heart still burns."
The lonely soul, unseen, ignored,
Finds solace in a phrase adored:
"I see you there, you're not alone—"
And suddenly, the world has shone.
From stranger’s lips or friend’s embrace,
A word can heal, can re-erase
The scars of doubt, the wounds unseen,
Transforming days from dull to keen.
For words have weight, yet float with grace,
And lift us up through time and space.
