Your Words

We all know that words can tear us apart
Especially, when aimed directly at the heart.
We do not acknowledge as we should
That words may also change a life for good.
Usually just beautiful side effects, 
Of time taken to write a little text.
Takes not more than a moment to do,
Never realizing the impact of a word or two.
Encouragement will course through our souls, 
Finding emptiness and stuffing full all the holes
So, this poem is meant for one special poet:
My life is altered, and this is my way to show it.
With just those words you left behind, 
Doors have opened of every kind. 
Thank you for being able to kindly gauge
And being the first comment on my poetry page.
Simple words from a poet such as you
Will forever motivate me to keep pushing through
These words for all but written for you to see
Saying thanks, Chris Green, for being the first comment on my poetry..

A lovely ode to your first 'reader'. Words hold immense power, for from words come thoughts and thoughts come from the 'higher self'? maybe... x

of course, sometimes words may be rolled out like a bowling ball from the 'lower self'... :)
