Words

I woke as usual this morning The first thought of my day being What words am I going to use today? Will they be words of hate? Will they be words of love? Will they be unkind words,laced with cruelty? Alternatively,words conveyed with laughter and joy. My next thought,as always,is With whom will I share these words? Friends and family, Strangers I pass on the street Throughout my days journey Perhaps even those I work with. Or how about the person on the phone Yes!even that annoying telemarketer Who always seems to call at the worst of times? No matter what time of day that is. Even words I put down in print can affect How my day goes. One just never knows the impact Words play in our daily lives Until perhaps it is too late To take them back.
