Blood and Tears

Blood and Tears

A Poem by S. Elice

Words can hurt more than actions,
be careful how you wield them.
Blood comes from actions but tears come from words;
no one is invulnerable.

"Sticks and stone may break my bones but words will never hurt me."

Words do hurt,
no matter what the old proverb says.
Physical wounds heal,
but it takes longer to fix your soul.
Blood comes from actions but tears come from words;
no one is impervious.

Words have long lasting impact on any persons life way greater than the pangs of pain left by any weapon. Susan Ellice you deserve an outstanding ovation for this poem.
