Words Poem by Linda Claire

So lovely,
So many,
Such choises.
Such power.

Words change everything.
They can have such intense meaning,
That they must be picked
Very carefully.

I love you.
3 simple words.
But they can make one's week.

I hate you.
3 simple words.
They can change one's life.

Goodbye.
1 word.
One regretful, sorrow word.
That nobody likes to use.
I?
I choose not to.

Hello.
1 word.
One fantastic, joyful word.
A life-altering word.
Used much too often.
Even by me.

See the choices?
The power?
So strong,
Moving.
Decision making.

So lovely.
So many,
So wonderful.
So cruel.
