Words
Just sounds you say
A noise. like a blackboard being scratched
Or the cry of a baby
Words can sound harsh
Just sounds you say
Raise your voice in song
Recite your favourite poem
Words can lift your spirits
Just sounds you say
Speak out champion your cause
Deliver a heartfelt speech
Words can start a war
Just sounds you say
Whisper sweet nothings
Tell someone you love them
Words can warm the coldest heart
Just sounds you say
But they can change your day
Bring joy make people cry
Use them wisely .
