Words - Poem by Dee Corpolongo
Words are like weapons
they can tear you apart
they can bring so much joy
other times, break a heart
They should always be thought
about before being said
How a person may feel
upon it being read
I know I'm not blameless
saying things that would hurt
and I apologize to others
for all that it's worth
I hope that God hears me
and helps me make it right
Any pain I've ever caused
may they forgive me tonight.
