Words

Oh how wonderful words are.
They can empower, they can uplift, they can entertain
giving someone the courage to attain their dreams. 
Oh how powerful words are.
They can cut deep, they shatter dreams 
killing one's ambition to never achieve.

That's the power of words - they can build you up or they can break you down! Excellent piece with a meaningful message! Well done, Keith! Best wishes. Pandita
