Just Ask

Pennies for your many thoughts spinning

Round in your head just now, instead of

Other gifts without real value. How do

You really feel? I want to know. What’s

Troubling you, and how can I help? Amen.

So ask. Take an interest. Relationships

Are only momentarily physical, but that

Is not where lasting meaning is. Smile.

Communicate. Share your dreams, your

Pain, your values. These are the stars that

Shine the brightest. Yes, even pain, when

You share it. Open up. Be yourself. Ask

For help, if you need it. Don’t be afraid.
