Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
“Pooh!” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?”
“Nothing,” said Piglet taking Pooh’s paw
“I just want to be sure of you.”

Hearing that we are loved and cared for, hearing the actual words - “I love you,” “I care about you,” is sometimes enough to get us through a difficult day or situation. Giving constant assurance of our affection can at times be tiresome and tedious but when it is done, it is seldom wasted. To me words often seem empty and as we all know actions speak louder than words, but there are times that words are all we have. Giving someone comfort with only words can make you feel impotent but like someone said today saying the wrong thing is better than saying nothing at all. Consider that when you deal with words they can be weapons but they can also be gifts. Imagine each word is a wrapped up, bowed gift carrying all the love and tenderness you want to convey. When you give them, give them with love and affection and perhaps then they will make some one sure enough to take you hand.
