Words

Like a warm embrace That can fill a heart Expanding with heat and love Through every chamber Yet without warning It can take an about turn Causing pain and hurt Words can wound And destroy Ripping through precious moments Bruising the inside Of any body part No wonder the Word says There is life and death Held in the power of the tongue Requiring nothing less Than than a daily guard Be soft with your words And speak with love and care Leaving health rather than pain Fight the urge of strife Offering respect Using relationship bricks That build rather than destroy Leaving paths and bridges In the suburbs of your life Surrounded with spreading blossoms And a garden filled with succulents of joy

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." Have a blessed New Year.
