The Importance of Words
Once upon a time,
I was told that words could never hurt.
It now seems the opposite,
as they are so powerful, especially when curt.
~~~
Pronouncing them may be difficult,
causing enormous feelings and delay,
The shorter the word it seems,
the greater the effort to relay.
~~~
Words may be painful,
and affect the way that we behave.
They cannot be retracted,
as in your mind forever they engrave.
~~~
Love is an example,
changing a relationship to something firm.
Once said is gone your singularity,
as from thence your “one” you confirm.
~~~
Goodbye is another,
you state your intent to leave.
Of course it may be temporary,
but sometimes there is no reprieve.
~~~
A word can represent your name,
in the world you are identified.
It may be your claim to a fortune,
or the reason it is denied.
~~~
Words are so important,
we must take great caution when said,
Always use them with care and respect,
because there are no U-turns when read.
