Encouragement!

(Dedicated to Becky)

Encouragement,

What a wonderful thing!

It lifts you up,

Gives your life some zing,

Puts a giggle inside,

And a smile on your face,  

It makes things move 

At a faster pace,

Adds a spring to your step

Puts a song in your heart 

Gives you extra pep 

That sets you apart.

What a wonderful gift!

What a wonderful gift!

Let's give someone

Who needs a lift,

That attentive word,

That wonderful gift

That'll start them off,

To try again,

That extra boost,

Giv'n by a friend,

Without which they

Might have only failed.

So express your intent,

With a hearty hail!

Give encouragement!

Give encouragement!
