Sometimes we forget

In our busy lives, we often forget
that there is more along the way
than just bills to pay,
phone calls to return,
and errands to run.
There are people in our lives who need
to be hugged, who need to be loved.
There are people in our lives who need
their accomplishments noticed and praised.
We need to remember how fragile hearts can be,
how quickly a soul can grow weary,
and how fast a spirit can break.
