There are times when words must be spoken. Life is short. As we experience the kindness and the caring from others, we need to let them know when they have given us the most priceless gift of all, the gift of oneself.  Find the courage today to say the words your heart wants to say. Below is one of my favorite poems that talks about this.

Yu/stan/kema

Tell Him So.

If you hear a kind word spoken

Of some worthy soul you know,

It may fill his heart with sunshine

If you only tell him so.

If a deed, however humble,

Helps you on your way to go,

Seek the one whose hand has helped you,

Seek him out and tell him so.

If your heart is touched and tender

Toward a sinner, lost and low,

It might help him to do better

If you’d only tell him so.

Oh, my sisters, oh, my brothers,

As o’er life’s rough path you go,

If God’s love has saved and kept you,

Do not fail to tell men so!
