WORDS

Words can heal us or hurt us

They can be used to effect change

Words can change lives for the better

Or, create chaos

The right words can make us smile

On our darkest days

Can make the insurmountable 

Seem possible

We use words to persuade or dissuade

To express love or sadly…hate

They can be encouraging or daunting

Inspiring or demoralizing

We talk, we lecture

We try for our words

To make a positive change

One that’s meaningful and enduring

In the end

Sometimes our words are not enough

The conversation ceases

Then…. silence is all that remains
