The Power of Words

A word can land like morning light,
Soft on a wound that ached all night,
It lifts the fallen, calms the fear,
And lets a weary heart draw near.

A word can cut like winter stone,
Leave someone feeling all alone,
It lingers long after it’s said,
A heavy echo in the head.

So hold your tongue, then let it sing,
With kindness tucked in everything,
For what you speak will stay and grow
Choose wisely what you let them know.
