Kind Words

With words we build, with words we break, A heart, a soul, for kindness' sake. In every line, in every rhyme, Resides the power to heal in time. Choose words with care, like petals light, They bloom in minds, both day and night. For in their echo, deep and wide, Resides the truth we cannot hide. A compliment, a gentle cheer, Can wipe away the darkest tear. But harsh remarks, like bitter rain, Can sow the seeds of endless pain. Let empathy be our guiding star, In words we weave, no matter how far. For in this world, so vast and grand, Kindness, like sand, slips through our hand. So let our words, like oceans deep, Be gentle lullabies that keep The fragile hearts, both near and far, Embraced in love, like morning's star. In every sentence that we share, Let love and understanding bear The weight of all we long to say, In words that light the darkest day.

The power of words is often forgotten, I really appreciate the topic at this point in history. As a poet, you have the power to open thought from a positive perspective. Keep creating!

Hi Kim! It's actually really sad how people ignore how much words can affect others. The whole point of my poem is to raise a little bit of awareness about it. Thanks!

Hello Ariana, I really enjoyed this poem. Through words of kindness, not only is it our gift to humanity, but a reflection of our own humanity. I bow to your words of wisdom and the poetic heart that wrote them. Keep up the good work little sister.

Ariana, a lovely cadence in your lines underscores the lovely wisdom you share. I particularly liked "Let empathy be our guiding star", but there are too many other delightful lines and phrases to mention. Thank you for sharing and reminding us to be kind with the words we use ~ John

Thank you for your comment, I really hate those people of my life that are not aware of how their words hurt. I've tried my best to reflect that in my poem, thanks!
