Word's Worth

A poem from 1985

He spoke kind words
to her; a stranger
in a foreign land.
His words were worth
more
than all the gold in the earth
for they filled her heart with joy
and recognition.
She repaid him
by smiling
which filled his eyes with
wonder
at the beauty of this lowly maiden.
Words led to friendship
the greatest thing to have
in this world.
