Words

Strength, honor, respect are all qualities we admire
Must stay with us all day from dawn through retire.
We must try to gain or give accept and earn,
Sometimes walk the extra mile, to aid our neighbor though the turn.

Courage, determination, belief, are needed as we walk our path
As we learn of those before us, tales of bravery or psychopath.
Love, peace, loyalty are words we should cherish, 
As they are all that's needed, for prevention of inner perish.

We become our thoughts, there scale not understood
Think positive words, give power to greater good.
Thoughts of evil, acts of peril darken the soul
Will cast you into darkness, and remove you from your goal.

The quill can destroy more than our largest gun
Words have the power, to eradicate our sun.
Words will guide a Shepard to all his thirsty cattle,
Convince ten thousand soldiers, call to arms and battle.

Positive breaths positive i will concentrate on that
Be gentle with my words, curious like a cat.
Be careful what i write, be mindful of the ear
Fill my life with just a few like peace, or calm, or cheer.
