Words

 

Soft as a feather

Or sharp as a sword

Emotions are unlocked

When they are put into word

Expressive feelings

Of the mouth or pen

A simple thought

Is where you begin

Sonnets of love

That can steal your heart

Or rantings of hate

That can tear you apart

From a loved one’s death

Flows heartbreaking sorrow

Soothing words flow from others

Hoping your pain lessens tomorrow

Words spoken in anger

When hurt you lash out

Or a lack of self confidence

When speaking with doubt

Happiness shared

Of laughter and fun

Are precious gifts

For everyone

Words are a channel

We use each day

They can impact your life

Or just fade away

Make a difference

By what you say

Reach out to others
