I encouraged a young man named Sam in the bus
Heading to Nottingham with my thoughts on my phone notes, typing
Chatty, warm and open hearted I would say
Busy on my phone and he started a conversation regardless
I appreciated that and I didn't think of him less
With my words of comfort, with encouragement, him, I bless
He has so much to say with amazing thought process
Struggling to put it into writing, that's his struggle
He's studying English but to pencil his thoughts down, that's the wobble
I love being needed and his words screamed louder
His words screamed of someone who needed help to put his thoughts into words
He starts and then get stuck on how best to forge ahead
I admit, writing isn't for everyone but every step starts with an attempt
Words might fail you but stay at it even if it's just a line
A single line is what you can come up with? That's fine
Most people try too much and then lose it
When you have to force it then you will end up getting frustrated
I explained all these to Sam and I hope he makes the attempt
It won't always be easy but what's life if we won't even try?
Do you have someone just like Sam?
Might not be an English major but someone who struggles to express their thoughts?
Find a quiet place, look within and feel what you are going through
Don't force it and try to let your heart guide you
Don't try to impress and keep your words simple
This is not the trick meant only for those with dimple
Play with simple words as you will dance your finger around your pimple
Thank you for your time.

Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
