Words Words Words Poem by Jim Yerman

It's amazing how from every alphabet of every language
all the letters they contain.
can be created words of love and happiness
as well as words of hatefulness and pain.

Words of anger
Words of spite
Words that can…a soul…destroy.

Words of wonder
Words of beauty
Words that can fill a heart with joy.

Which means it's up to those of us who speak and write them…
to choose our words with kindness and not abuse them…
not only in the words we choose…
but in how we choose to use them.
