Poem: Spoken Words Can Heal Too...

Spoken Words Can Heal Too...

There are times when our words can heal in ways that medicine alone never could — with gentle strength, lasting impact, and a kindness that endures.

This poem is dedicated to all those on the front line — in healthcare, education, community service, and beyond — as a gentle reminder of the quiet power of the spoken word.

It is also dedicated to anyone who has ever been hurt by harsh words or unkindness.

May this serve as a reminder that with timely action, empathy and support, healing is always possible. 💛

Spoken Words Can Heal Too…

Let’s make time to talk, with gentle care,
a healing gift that hearts can share.
Each tender word, when softly spoken,
becomes medicine for a soul that’s broken.

A tender voice with good intent,
breathes life where tired hearts are spent.
It lifts the weary, stirs the whole,
like rising tides that raise each soul.

When hearts in tune begin to speak,
resonance flows — both strong and meek.
Through synchronicity, souls align,
and gentle words bring love divine.

So pause a while, and truly hear,
the hopes, the hurts, the voice so near.
In giving time, our spirits blend,
and pain begins its path to mend.

Through honest talk, through patient grace,
we find true bond, in face-to-face.
For when we speak and when we feel,
we learn — through love — that spoken words can heal too.
