WORDS

Words can make you happy

Or they can make you sad

Words can make you feel good

Or make you, feel real bad

 

Words can help you heal

Or they can make you hurt

Words can give you praise

Or they can throw some dirt

 

Words can raise you up

Or they can put you down

Words can make you smile

Or they can make you frown

 

Words can make you smart

Or they can make you dumb

Words can make you leave

Or they can make you come

 

Words can make you laugh

Or they can make you cry

Words can tell the truth

Or they can tell a lie

 

Words can bring you sorrow

Or they can bring you joy

Words can be real blunt

Or they can just be coy

 

Words so much

 Our lives affect

That we should use them

 With respect
