Notes About The Poem

Words Spoken By You- An Rl Collab

Richard: 
Sometimes words speak louder than actions 
Is it possible that that could be true?
Spoken hastily, without compassion 
Have such words been spoken by you?

Eileen:
Such words have been spoken by me
making others dejected and blue
Words that stole the sun from the skies
But they've never been spoken by you

Richard:
Words can also be very uplifting 
Even if those gifted are just a few 
Removing sadness, comforting hearts 
Have such words been spoken to you?

Eileen:
Yes, such words have been spoken to me
They’ve refreshed my soul like the dew
My heart takes to wing and it flies
Because of words spoken by you.

And so our dear friends come and hear
This message, you know it's quite true
Words spoken can heal or can harm
What words will be spoken by you?


A Richard Lamoureux and Eileen Manassian Collaboration

Yes, dear. It's true. I'm so glad Richard asked me to collab with him. He sent me his parts and I sort of added mine in to fit with his thoughts. Thanks for the visit. I'm trying to get as much as I can in today because next week will be MAD!! ;) Hugs
