Words Words

So carelessly spoken
So carelessly broken
The thinking word
The saying word
The feeling word
The unsaid word
All have the same impact
They inspire
They uplift
They depress
They sadden
They gladden
Can be a sword
Can be a shield
Can be a shelter
Yet
Can never be retrieved
Can never go back 
So
Use wisely
Not in haste
Not in hate
With a pure heart
And always with love

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
