Words

I never thought that few words

Can break you, or just lift you high

They can either make you feel okay,

Or even make you want to cry

 

Just tiny little chains of letters

They can really change your day

And I've been effected by these words

In pretty much every way

 

Whether spoken, or written down in ink

Whether read, or typed down

Little words are very weird things

They can make you smile, or even make you frown

 

But words are funny things, my friends

They are a boon, but may also prove as bad

Use them wisely, they are very helpful tools

And with them, never try to make someone sad

 

I've crossed the seas, and seen the world

So you better listen to one thing

Prove your words as gifts from god

So that on every face, a smile they can bring

 

For when your words are good and true

You never have to sigh

And whine or even regret some things

And you never have to cry

 

Paint a canvas of happiness with your golden words

Turn the world into a better place

Because words, my friend, are useful things

Use them wisely, and with grace

good, poem. I like the length of your poems because it only takes a few words just to get a meaning across.

lol. thanks. I don't personally prefer long poems as well :P

I loved this! It takes "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all" to another level. Words hurt us worse than physical pain, because bruises heal and fade in time, yet words stay clear and sharp in our minds. Too often were there times when I wished, I hadn't said something aloud.

thank you. And yes, I agree. Words hurt a lot more than physical pain!

"Paint a canvas of happiness with your golden words
Turn the world into a better place
Because words, my friend, are useful things" Such a true and beautiful message. Nicely crafted, Rhea
