A million words can sometimes fail;
To decipher feelings, behind the veil.

You can go on with love-filled words;
But still you'd be near to unheard.

Those words can never soothe a person;
Who's dying under his pain's heavy burden.

That's when silence shows its power;
Making the trust bloom alive like a flower.

Everything unspoken, they start telling you;
But they need your silence for moments, a few.

Your advice or suggestions would mean nothing to them;
If you can't have the patience of listening to them.

You don't know what beauty, silence can carry;
Letting free the person from every problem and worry.

They need you to just quietly lend them an ear;
No matter if you are miles away or sitting just as near.

All you've got to do is, let them know you are there;
Ready to shower them with your love, heed and care.
