Analysis of The Affirmation Essential
Do you get the simplicity?
Letting that Other Guy
Know he matters.
A smile or kind word removes
The grief and tatters.
Sit down face to face
Family is simply
Stopping, sitting, grinning
Together.
Called the Human Race.
Same needs
Same chores
Same loves.
We each have a place.
Make for more
Shared space.
