PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Our words have this awesome power

from the moment they leave our brain…

to cause others joy and happiness  

or sorrow, heartache and pain.

Which means we must be careful with our words 

and how we choose to use them.

to remember how important they are

and try never to misuse them…

When we speak words of praise and love…

those who hear them will find a way

to remember them forever…

those beautiful words we say.

But we must also keep in mind…

when our words are cruel, and callous and rotten

these words, just like words of love…

may never be forgotten.

All the more reason to think before we speak…

because when we use words that are hurtful and unkind

we should ask ourselves…

When we are gone…

are these the kind of words we want to leave behind?

Today I’m grateful for understanding the responsibility 

and the power of my words…

How they can make you laugh…

or they can make you frown…

How I can use my words to build you up…

or if I’m not careful and unthinking

use them to tear you down.
