Words



Words can be found and words can be lost. Words can be harsh and words can be soft. They can bring you up they can bring you down. Yes they can make you fall to the ground. They can be spoken or given with a shout. Yes evil words can take you out. Words can be large or they can be small. Then there are words that prevent a fall. Some of the words yes the words that you hear. Can cause love or even fear. There are words that makes it hard to live. Also words that wont let you forgive. But the word of life is the word that cures. Read the Bible and you will know for sure. A word that will always stay by your side. And yes a word you never want to hide.

About this poem

The things that words can do. Words can make you and words can break you. Some words can help and some words can hurt.

    "Thy word is a light on my path and a lamp to my feet". I like that you brought it all back to the Bible, indeed, " The word of life is the word that cures".
