Power of Words

They can hurt
They can sting
And everything in between
They can heal
They can even make someone kneel
What would we be without them?
Nothing but a tree stem
Without words we cannot communicate
And the world would be filled with hate

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
