I like your use of personification. This draws the reader in. The reader also is invited to reflect upon what effect their kind word have on nice people. This will be motivating people to use more words of kindness. This is very needed at this time. Thank you.

I think of the main reasons I like my therapist is because of her kind voice. It's gentle, even when she's saying things I don't necessarily want to hear. There is just something about a gentle voice and kind words. You did a great job with this :)

A very well-written eight-word poem about the magic of kind words that come like dew drops to the ears of a lover to soothe and nourish their soul.

This eight-word poem, A Touch of Kindness, has the right word count and allows that the natural tendency for humans to console each other comes from the internal need to nourish the hungry souls.
