We write words of comfort
helping heal scars from the past
sometimes battling one another
knowing make-believe won’t last

Make-believe we’re helping
with our prayers and pens
do we really mean the words
when we click and send

Are we playing a world wide role
with people we’ll never meet
are we really touching them
from our computer seat

Everyone has feelings
everyone has a heart
we’ve all endured the stress of life
and have known this from the start

Make-believe, maybe not
compassion is for real
so maybe thinking before one writes
imagining how others feel

Yes, we are all guilty
perfect we are not
communication on this level
in which we all are caught

Laughter, sorrow everyday things
are topics we all discuss
no matter who or where you are,
understanding is a must
