WORDS

Words can be powerful things,
Be careful how you use them,
Be careful of their tone,
Be careful how you say them,

Harsh words can hurt,
Cruel words can destroy,
Words of hate are not for you,
Words expressed with love will always be true,

Words of power can sometimes dominate,
Words of strength can always cultivate,
Words of encouragement can do amazing things,
Words of joy bring endless things,

Words of anger said is haste,
Can only lead to an unhappy face,
Words of strength and words of love,
Are surely sent from the Heavens above.
