Small Talk...

Taking the Time to talk
     to one of the Lonely
     who lives in the
     World of Regret,
     the What If, the If Only...
Take it all to personal,
     sadness builds
     growing inward,
     unseen wall stopping him
     in a boat without any oars...
The more you build from Weakness
     the more comes tumbling down
     about your ears,
     the pain and fear
     make poor mortar
     in a house set on loose ground...
Take a firm stand,
     it has nothing to do
     with being a man,
     it comes down to
     what you have at your command
     and when you know
     you need a helping hand...
It takes a brave man
to reach for a helping hand,
no one needs to live alone...
