What positive emotion do you feel most often?
To truly care is to weave the fragile thread,
That binds us all in moments never said,
A glance, a touch, a word unsought,
The silent spaces where hearts are caught.
It’s in the weight of unspoken fears,
The shared strength that dries the tears,
A knowing nod, a lingering stay,
When the world insists on pulling away.
To care is not to simply see,
But to bear the other’s agony,
To cradle hope when it’s nearly lost,
And warm the soul at any cost.
It’s the giving when nothing’s left,
A quiet act, a love bereft,
Of pride, of need, of any claim,
Just the burning, tender flame.
For in this care, we find the truth,
The deepest bond, the timeless youth,
A life entwined, a shared breath,
The bridge between life and death.
