Just One Word

It takes just one word to move the universe when you want to converse, sometimes it takes just one word to move the elephant out of the room before the next full moon. Sometimes it’s hard to smile when you don’t have a dime, and when the pain is so deep, it disturbs your daily sleep.

It’s not the type of pain that you feel in your hands, foot, shoulders or your legs; nor is it the pain you feel when people intrude in your bed.

 It’ s the pain of going nowhere when you have so much to share, it is the pain of being in a secluded place with the feelings that your life is fading away and you are stuck in one place.

Sometimes it’s hard to exhale when your nostrils are blocked; it’s hard to swallow when you have to beg and borrow; and when you cannot breathe you have to roll up your sleeves and force your way out of the dream. And when the building block was placed on your back, destiny was just in time to roll it back.

 The sun is shining over here, and I have nothing to fear, it's raining over there and you have lots of blessing to share. It takes one word to cleanse your soul and it takes one word to make you whole. It takes one word to pull in the crowd and, it takes just one word to make them get up and shout.

The city has come alive, and they are dancing in their pride, the music is rolling, and people are shouting and just one word change the rhythm.

They are moving around with bags and felt hats and in five second, they fill up the box; money is rolling in and everyone is giving, big and small, tall and short gave from their heart.

The day of reckoning is coming, and you must be generous in your giving; you have got to remove the obstruction from the block so that you can wear the new frock, if he gets in there, the universe will fear, and you will rot in your grave.

One word can change the projection and one word can change the direction, sometimes it takes just one word to explain to the world what everything is about; just look for that one word.
