Words of Value
Do not hold your words inside
for they must be said, proclaimed or written!
Let them flow from you like wine into a cup.
Let them be your strength and a rock for others, too.
Let your words ring out like music to the ear.
Let them go forth and lead others to change.
Let them be there to fulfill promises
and let them be words of love, for those unloved.
A few words can lift a person’s spirit
to a height not seen by the human eye,
so tomorrow, just say a few kind words.
Let others know you care by capturing their truths
in detail and revealing yourself back to them.
Let the world know you’re alive by what you say.
Lastly, you, with talent and even without,
speak up, as I’ve found
words mean something to somebody
and are therefore treasured and valuable.
