NOT WORDS ALONE.

1t isn't enough to be sorry
oIsi3r For troubles our neighbors 1 may feei'
Unless We use action to heal.
Kind words, tho so welcome in sorrow.
Take wings and fly off into space.
But deeds help the downcast take courage
Their fears and their terrors to face
Just some to help lift the burden
To do for them deeds that are kind;
How quickly their die in sunshine,
And rest comes to heart and to mind!
No, it isn't enough to be sorry.
Or to pity in speeches alone;
Kind words must be backed by kind action.
