WORDS

Words.

They hold tremendous power.

They are both tools to build,

And weapons to destroy.

One simple word can break a heart or cut a soul

Or ensure forever.

Through them lives can change and thoughts can grow.

Every day they change the world.

Every day they are given and lost to deaf ears.

Words, they hold the key to connection.

They are the building blocks of stories,

The most tangible form of ideas and feelings.

Wherever they are given, laughter and tears echo through their wake.

Words can lift spirits high or crush them beneath despair.

Released into the air, they can be shared.

Released onto paper they can be shared with thousands.

They have the ability to soar above the clouds or sink deep into the shadows, to fight battle and to win affection.

They stir the heart and teach the unknown.  

They are treasure that must be spent wisely,

For they hold the power to change, to hope, to love, to hate, to feel, to believe.

With words, one can do anything,

Or be anyone.
