Affection
is the caress of a cheek,
That wipes away a tear.
It is the voice you use,
When you call someone dear.
It is not very hard to learn,
Nor very hard to do.
It is nothing manufactured,
and it is nothing new.
It is sweetness and kindness,
In a person's word and deed.
From the beginning of time,
It had been God's creed.
To treat others as you would be treated,
Giving of yourself in love.
As our Father taught us,
This lesson from above.
Affection is the signals and signs,
From one person to another,
That I love the person you are,
Be you enemy, friend, or brother.
