Notes About The Poem

As Easy As a B C

It’s funny how we all learn the same alphabet
with the 26 letters it contains
letters we can combine into words of love and happiness
or words of hatefulness and pain.

We can create words of anger…words of spite
words that can…a soul…destroy
Words of wonder
words of beauty
words that can fill a heart...with joy.

Which means:
It’s up to those of us once we learn our alphabet
to choose our words with kindness and not abuse them…
not only in our choice of words…but in how we choose to use them.

When you stop and think bout it
It’s something I wish everyone could see…
how choosing words of love and kindness…
is as easy as A…B…C
