Words

Just arrangement of simple letters
but show the world in its entirety.
Words are very awesome when mother 
is called mom for the first by her child.
They mean commitment when beloved
confesses his/her love for the person.
They show the pain when the heart is badly hurt.
They carry  a load of promise when made,till the end.
Words make you laugh out loud
and say how much you care for people.
They lighten a lamp for a soul in darkness,
they bring the hope,peace and happiness.
Shows the beauty of world when the life
is out of shine and soulless.
They take out the grief out of
heart or crush it with its harshness.
Words can be callous or pretty ,they
show the real person when uttered.
They share the deepest secrets ,let 
out the hidden sorrows and 
display the forgotten past.
Share the bond of friendship,love or 
hatred.They praise the glory of 
ancestors and also their brutality.
Words of beloved get inked in the heart
whether they are sweet,sour or bitter.
 Exchange pleasantries or words of wisdom
depends on how well said and received.
Some have to be inked and cherished 
forever in the heart and some to be
forgotten the moment they are out.
Every beautiful story starts with simple words
and great opportunities knock with small talk.
it is not the wealth one need to be careful about ,
but the words when spoken as they have,
the power to built an empire or destroy it.
They touch the soul when said with 
pure heart and beautiful mind.
