The Power In A Word

Contributed by SusieQ on Sunday, 19th January 2003 @ 09:40:00 AM in AEST
Topic: InspirationalPoems



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.

i agree with the two before..the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" its so false..words hurt more than anything..

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!)
