You gave me words of kindness
tied with a ribbon of gold,
hearing them was important
to heal my heart and soul.
Your gift of words made a difference
when I was down and blue,
questioning why I bother,
doing what I do.

Turning away, the teacher muttered "At least he doesn't know what it means."
"I do, too!" the little boy replied. "It means the car won't start!
"Surround yourself with people who fight for you in rooms you aren't in."
