Letters Grow Up To Be Words

"Words are just letters,
Pasted together

Their individual sound makes no sense
But formed together they are heaven sent

Giving each letter a voice,
It’s message our choice

As we chose letters to fit,
To form the words of our script

Expressing what is in us,
Framing moments we can trust

To explain feelings within,
And to know where to begin

Today or tomorrow,
Be it joy or sorrows

Picking letters that explain,
Feelings of happiness or pain

Understanding that the “u” and “I”,
Always determines the “why”

Of moments and events,
That each day presents."
