Words

The Words were form fitted
  chosen  ,             just especially for you
the ones you needed  ,  ones you could hear
        that could not  ,  would not be
                      rejected
    You could trust the truth of them 
            they filled an empty cup
          they were given to bind up
                   every wound
       to heal every thing broken
        to shed light and dispel
                  darkness
           a balm and remedy for
           every ill and untoward 
                experience
to bring you good news  ,  joy ,  and gladness
                to bring hope where 
                  there was none
to lift your heart and bring your mind
       to reach for 
         their true potential
           to teach you to become
             the words
to transform your substance
            into a new one 
        

         the true alchemy


    these words change lives
   these words power your life
they are the ones that embrace
                      you
that will hold you  ,  will teach you
      that show their love for you
          they are a joy to hear
   and to be spoken  , upon rising
   upon  retiring  ,  and though out
              all your activity 
These words were made for you 
 In them you will find your Love
         you will find your Joy
they will bring peace  , compassion
gentleness  ,  goodness  ,  generosity
   kindness  ,  patience   ,  and faith
     you can trust they will always
     seek every goodness for you
          they will fill your every
                    need
             Without them 
          the World would be
              a cold place
                in deed
