One kind word

I expected one kind word,

but who am I to get one,

I expected one kind word,

I am a nobody to everyone.

I expected one kind word,

to help me through,

I expected one kind word,

just so that I felt something new.

I expected one kind word,

to make my life worthwhile,

I expected one kind word,

hoping you'd stay awhile.

I expected one kind word,

every time,

But it almost never came in,

in my lifetime.

I expected one kind word,

just so that,

I knew,

I was someone to you.
