(y)our words
hold a mighty power
to build up
and to tear down
maturation
of the spirit
gives the strength
to control the impulse
to destroy
so the gifts
of words
and wit
and wisdom
and where-with-all
aren't used
in a harmful way.
we can give
kindness
love
forgiveness
gratitude
praise
hope
empathy
caring
understanding
with our words
on
purpose.
(thank you God.)
