[hometext] => Its important for us to be responsible for the harm our words can cause ... and to realize how much good we could do with encouraging words.
[bodytext] => There is power in a word
though its sweet or its mean;
Long-lasting effects are too often seen.
There is power in a word;
For our memories ring,...
Re-hurting our hearts or making them sing.
There is power in a word; ...
You must watch what you say;
The bread you cast out
Will come back someday.
There is power in a word,
Though its often broken,
Forgetting a vow we've lightly spoken.
There is power in a word,
Once its flown from the tongue;
We can't bring it back
From where its been flung.
There is power in a word, ...
Oh! ..but, you can be, too,...
Don't listen to gossip, true or untrue.
There is power in a word;
More good ones are needed
To heal the hurts, by the evil one, seeded.
There is power in a word;
Choose the ones that will build;
Build visions in souls to one day be filled.

| It is the message I am giving. Word is a flower of love and it is a fruit of experience. share it with others joyfully. Word is a sword. Use it carefully for the benefit of mankind. Dear SusieQ, I appreciate your poem. It is very bright and beautiful..Venkat |

| words, the medium of conciousness, words, the interface to our being, each one a little program in itself, just a couple of the thoughts your poem drew out of me, there must be something in it |

| Thank you, Wolfflow, for taking time to comment for my poem. I have somehow locked myself out of the site under the name SusieQ, so you will now find my recent works under the nickname, Bizzy. |

Thank you, Christina, for the nice compliment.
You will find my recent poems under Bizzy because I accidently locked myself out of my account. (Not too smart!) |
