Words

 

Words can sting or give life.

Words can hurt or they can heal

They can wound or they can wash

They can frown or they can feel.

I've hurt a person with my words.

I've stung them like swords

Hurt them to their souls

Hit them with words like boards.

I want my words to be strong

But strung with love and trust

To not be too heavy and long

Or words that will fall and rust.

Let my words be few

But let them be full of love

Let them speak of You

And point to things thereof.
