The words we utter

The words we utter 

The words we utter 

Have meaning and intent 

Thinking before the spoken word 

Can make the word of difference

Between love and hate 

The words we utter 

Have power 

Speak truth but from kindness  

Use them not to bruise but to lift

Others

The words we utter 

Have a place in time and space

Why be remembered for division?

When you can be the vision for connection 

And healing those divisions

The words we utter 

Can be used to touch a life

To raise a soul 

Inspire another 

Build a bond 

And heal a heart 

Let's use the words we utter 

To lift a life

And give a kiss to life
