A smile is magical for the aching wound,
As it drives sadness afar from the mount,
A hug is gentle balm for aching heart,
As it conjoins soul in the divinity art.
Kindness soothes the dripping eyes,
As it solace humans in its assuring voice,
Love-the only medication for the broken man,
As it plays the never losing game.
Music heals the trodden being,
As it smiles in affirmative feelings,
Politeness earns the highest price,
Let it be spoken for once, twice and thrice.
Helping hand will never be empty,
For humanity it shoulders the responsibility,
Caring gestures are truly inspiring,
For those living in the suffering.
Magic doesn't raptures from the wand,
Instead it sneaks from the hidden wound,
Caring for another wound and the scar,
It is truly magical, and shines like a star.
