Healing Words

When I'm feeling alone,

A stranger from the group

I pour myself a heaping bowl

Of teenage chicken soup.

*

Those I meet inside here

Never ask me to explain.

They understand without a word

And also feel my pain.

*

Was it something in my story

That changed your life today?

The healing words of one like me

Who found himself astray?

*

Did you feel that bond between us

Through our taking and our giving?

Did you touch that part inside my heart

That said to go on living?

*

Your words come flying back to me.

They lay upon your letter.

I'm glad to know I helped you

And that you're feeling better.

*

When you are feeling stronger

Since our lives and words have crossed

Go out and help another soul

Who's out there feeling lost.
