Creating the common

Doesn’t it feel nice to have something to say?
Some may not realize that it can feel this way
But this does not detract from the benevolent fact
One may feel right when there is something to say

Doesn’t it feel nice to have a friend to hear?
Some may not realize the subtle power of one ear
But this does not detract from the magnanimous fact
The world feels good when one is listening and near

Doesn’t it feel nice to allow one to be?
Some words may flow like sap from a tree
But this does not detract from the kind-hearted fact
A warmhearted one will deliberately free
