Words Spoken An Eileen-Rich Colaboration

Richard: Sometimes words speak louder than actions Is it possible that this could be true? Spoken hastily, without compassion Have such words been spoken by you? Eileen: Such words have been spoken by me making others dejected and blue Words that have stole the sun from the skies But they've never been spoken by you Richard: Words can also be very uplifting Even if those gifted are just a few Removing sadness, comforting hearts Have such words been spoken to you? Eileen: Yes, such words have been spoken to me They’ve refreshed my soul like the dew My heart takes to wing and it flies Because of words spoken by you. Together: And so our dear friends come and hear This message, you know it's quite true Words spoken, can heal or can harm What words will be spoken by you? A Richard Lamoureux and Eileen Manassian Collaboration Thanks for accepting my invitation Eileen, you speak beautiful words! Thanks also to the many lovely people here who have been a wonderful inspiration to me since I have joined Poetry Soup. Your words are meaningful and lasting. Merry Christmas my friends, you are my Family of the Pen!

I love it. Wonderfully crafted, both of you. I love that the two of you write in unison at the end. "Words spoken, can heal or can harm What words will be spoken by you?" Food for thought. Think before you speak(or write ;)! Always, Laura

Don't underestimate your own popularity. Also popularity ebs and flows and at the end of the day is very fleeting.

Hello, dear Edith. Hope Richard doesn't mind if I post a comment. I really wanted to thank you for your friendship. It has meant a great deal to me. As you know....I lost my Mama 15 years ago...and I do miss her terrible. I'm always comforted when I feel someone reaching out to me as she would have done. Bless you.

Beautiful collaboration you two....I can see your friendship in your words.

I love this short but meaningful collaboration, Richard & Eileen. Words are ever powerful....they can build or destroy, depending on how they're used. In Malta we say: It's better to say 1 word than a 100! ~~ Best wishes!:) // paul
