how?

how do you make somebody feel loved? how do you tell them they have so much to live for and breathe for and work towards? i just don't understand how we all get so down these days- but whats more i don't know how to help people up. i try and i try and i try! but words are mere words- and unless you believe them- they mean nothing. just a bothersome noise in the air. i just don't know what to do... just don't know how to help. if i could change the world for them i would. if i could search the earth for the happiness and the acceptance and love that they seek and deliver it to them- i would. but i can't. so i'm stuck here with my empty words.
