Close To The Heart

The words are not always there. Their needs are often disguised or denied. Then there are the times we may be too eager to accept things as being better than they are. We can travel and search the world for those needing our help, but in doing so we often overlook the need and the pain standing at our side, often sharing our name, our bloodline or the bonds of a so called friendship. We too often look to the horizon  when we would be better suited to simply close our eyes, listen and feel the needs of those close to our heart.
