The human touch.
The human touch.
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
The easiest gift to give is concern, time and to listen. In a world of fast pace and little time. We must slow down and show the people we love and need them.
Feel they are alone.
Be blinded to reasons to be alive and go forward.Many ways to find dead-ends in a life.
Lost love.
Isolation from the people we love and need.
Bad times and locked doors of opportunity.
We can get scared.
Fall down and can’t find the way to hope.
Some folks can find peace and salvation in prayer.
Some of us need kind words and a helping hand.
I believe we have forgotten the old way.
The human touch.
We forgot how to listen and pay attention to the people around us.
Some people find peace in silence.
Salvation in self-pity.
Living and dying alone.
They forgot the joyous dances in the light of love and life.
Their bleeding heart leaving little of one person life lived.
Some battles are a constant struggle.
They are lost before they were started.
We need the old ways.
Where neighbors talks to each other.
When people had long conversation about anything.
Where laughter was easy and time for friendship.
Is part of our life.
The human touch.
A free hug. A shared joke. Showing concern for someone in pain.
I believe the world is moving too fast.
No time for concern.
We forgot kindness. We forget how to talk to each other.
We must slow down.
Stop and communicate.
Ask real questions of concern.
Because we care for friends and family.
I like when a stranger shared a smile and a hello.
Simple gifts we can give freely.
Can change a day for another person.
Kindness birth hope. Love bring life to the dead in dreams and in spirit.
We must slow down and have concern for the world around us.
The human touch is needed for us to know peace in our life.

I agree with your sentiments expressed in this poem. The world is moving to fast and we are so much more isolated. The simple acts of kindness are an excellent place to start to form bonds.
Hard to slow down. But we must to enjoy the good moments in a life. Thank you for the comment.

And it is really so easy to uplift and encourage others. I find that the self-absorbed are handicapped but the ones who have gone through some knothole of difficulty are up to the task. May others hear your words and pause to consider opportunities around them.
