THE RIGHT WORDS

 

I could never pick the right words

To comfort a friend

I could never pick the right words

To make her happy

I could never pick the right words to say

To the homeless,

Or to the fatherless that will bring back his father

Or a widow that will bring back her husband

No intelligence of mine is high enough

But I’ve got a shoulder for them to lean on

Arms to wrap around them

Legs to take a walk with them

A back to carry them, when they get tired

And a smile they will always find on my face

To warm their hearts

I may never find the right words to say

But I’ve found the right heart

To comfort you my friend
